ADDITONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
ENGLISH
• Secure the workpiece.
A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a
vice is held more secure than by hand.
• Do not work materials containing asbestos.
Asbestos is considered
carcinogenic.
•
T
ake protective measures when dust can develop during working that is
harmful to one
’
s health, combustible or explosive.
Example: Some dusts
are regarded as carcinogenic. Wear a dust mask and work with dust/chip
extraction when connectable.
• Keep your workplace clean.
Blends of materials are particularly dangerous.
Dust form light alloys can burn or explode.
•
Always wait until the machine has come to a complete stop before
placing it down.
The bit inserted can jam and lead to loss of control over the
power tool.
• Before any work on the machine (e.g., maintenance, tool change, etc.) as
well as during transport and storage, set the rotational direction switch to
the centre position.
Unintentional actuation of the On/Off switch can lead to
injuries.
• Do not open the battery.
Danger of short circuiting.
• Protect the battery against heat, e. g., also against continuous sun
irradiation and fire.
There is danger of explosion.
• Do not short-circuit the battery.
There is danger of explosion.
• In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may be
emitted. Provide for fresh air and seek medical help in case of
complaints.
The vapours can irritate the respiratory system.
• Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the
work area or call the local utility company for assistance.
Contact with
electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead
to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or may cause
an electric shock.
• Switch off the power tool immediately when the tool inserted jams. Be
prepared for high reaction torque that can cause kickback.
The tool insert
jams when:
—the power tool is subject to overload or
—it becomes wedged in the workpiece.
• Hold the machine only by the insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting tool may run into hidden
wiring.
Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool
“live” and shock the operator.
• Hold the machine with a firm grip.
High reaction torque can briefly occur
while driving in and loosening screws.
