e)
The workpiece must be fixed securely in place.
f)
Do not use cutting discs for grinding.
g)
After disc breakage, or if the power tool is
dropped, falls or suffers other mechanical
damage, it must be checked at a Hilti Service
Center.
h)
Take steps to ensure that flying sparks from the
power tool do not present a hazard, i.e. by striking
yourself, other persons or inflammable materials.
Adjust the position of the guard accordingly.
i)
In case of an interruption in the electric supply:
Switch the power tool off and unplug the supply
cord.
This will prevent accidental restarting when the
electric power returns.
5.6.3 Electrical safety
a)
Before beginning work, check the working area
(e.g. using a metal detector) to ensure that no
concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes
are present.
External metal parts of the power tool
may become live, for example, when an electric cable
is damaged accidentally. This presents a serious risk
of electric shock.
b)
Check the power tool’s supply cord at regular
intervals and have it replaced by a qualified spe-
cialist if found to be damaged. If the power tool’s
supply cord is damaged it must be replaced with
a specially-prepared supply cord available from
Hilti Customer Service. Check extension cords
at regular intervals and replace them if found to
be damaged. Do not touch the supply cord or
extension cord if it is damaged while working.
Disconnect the supply cord plug from the power
outlet.
Damaged supply cords or extension cords
present a risk of electric shock.
c)
Dirty or dusty power tools which have been used
frequently for work on conductive materials
should be checked at regular intervals at a Hilti
Service Center.
Under unfavorable circumstances,
dampness or dust adhering to the surface of
the power tool, especially dust from conductive
materials, may present a risk of electric shock.
d)
When working outdoors with an electric tool
check to ensure that the tool is connected to the
electric supply by way of a ground fault circuit
interrupter (RCD) with a rating of max. 30 mA
(tripping current).
Use of a ground fault circuit
interrupter reduces the risk of electric shock.
e)
Use of a ground fault circuit interrupter (RCD
residual current device) with a maximum tripping
current of 30 mA is recommended.
5.6.4 Work area
a)
Ensure that the workplace is well lit.
b)
Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated.
Ex-
posure to dust at a poorly ventilated workplace may
result in damage to the health.
5.6.5 Personal protective equipment
The user and any other persons in the vicinity must
wear suitable eye protection, a hard hat, ear protec-
tion, protective gloves and breathing protection while
the power tool is in use.
6 Before use
WARNING
Never use the power tool without the guard.
DANGER
Disconnect the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
CAUTION
Wear gloves when fitting or removing parts, when
making adjustments or when remedying malfunc-
tions.
6.1 Fitting the side handle
WARNING
The side handle must be fitted for all types of work.
The side handle may be screwed onto the power tool on
the right or left.
