▶ Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing
work in which the accessory tool might come into contact with concealed
wiring. If the accessory tool comes into contact with a live wire, metal
parts of the power tool can also become live, resulting in an electric
shock.
▶ Avoid touching rotating parts – risk of injury!
▶ Wear suitable protective glasses, a hard hat, ear defenders, protective
gloves and light respiratory protection while using the power tool.
▶ Wear protective gloves also when changing the accessory tool. Touching
the accessory tool presents a risk of injury (cuts or burns).
▶ Wear eye protection. Flying fragments present a risk of injury to the body
and eyes.
▶ Before starting work, check the hazard class of the dust that will be pro-
duced when working. Use an industrial vacuum cleaner with an officially
approved protection class in compliance with the locally applicable dust
protection regulations. Dust from materials such as lead-based paint,
certain types of wood and concrete/masonry/stone containing quartz,
minerals or metal can be harmful to health.
▶ Make sure that the workplace is well ventilated and, where necessary,
wear a respirator appropriate for the type of dust generated. Contact with
or inhalation of the dust can cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory
or other diseases to the operator or bystanders. Certain kinds of dust
such as oakwood and beechwood dust are classified as carcinogenic,
especially in conjunction with additives for wood conditioning (chromate,
wood preservative). Only specialists are permitted to handle material
containing asbestos.
▶ Take breaks and do physical exercises to improve the blood circulation
in your fingers. Exposure to vibration during long periods of work can
lead to disorders of the blood vessels and nervous system in the fingers,
hands and wrists.
Electrical safety
▶ Before beginning work, check the working area for concealed electric
cables, gas pipes and water pipes. External metal parts of the power tool
can become live, presenting a risk of electric shock, if you accidentally
damage an electric cable.
Power tool use and care
▶ Immediately switch off the power tool if the accessory tool jams. The
power tool might twist off-line.
▶ Wait until the power tool stops completely before you lay it down.
