5.1.4 Power tool use and care
a)
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application.
The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
b)
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
c)
Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing ac-
cessories, or storing power tools.
Such prevent-
ive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d)
Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
e)
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f)
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g)
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5.1.5 Service
a)
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
5.2 Hammer safety warnings
a)
Wear ear protectors.
Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
b)
Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the
tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
c)
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
5.3 Additional safety instructions
5.3.1 Personal safety
a)
Always hold the power tool securely with both
hands on the grips provided. Keep the grips dry,
clean and free from oil and grease.
b)
Breathing protection must be worn if the power
tool is used without a dust removal system for
work that creates dust.
c)
Improve the blood circulation in your fingers by
relaxing your hands and exercising your fingers
during breaks between working.
d)
Avoid touching rotating parts. Switch the power
tool on only after bringing it into position at the
workpiece.
Touching rotating parts, especially
rotating insert tools, may lead to injury.
e)
Always lead the supply cord and extension cord
away from the power tool to the rear while
working.
This helps to avoid tripping over the
cord while working.
f)
When using the power tool for mixing, set the
function selector switch to “Hammer drilling”
and wear protective gloves.
g)
Children must be instructed not to play with the
power tool.
h)
The power tool is not intended for use by chil-
dren, by debilitated persons or those who have
received no instruction or training.
i)
Dust from material such as paint containing lead,
some wood species, minerals and metal may be
harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust
may cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory
diseases to the operator or bystanders. Certain
kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic such
as oak and beech dust especially in conjunction
with additives for wood conditioning (chromate,
wood preservative). Material containing asbestos
must only be treated by specialists.
Where the
use of a dust extraction device is possible it
shall be used. To achieve a high level of dust
collection, use a suitable vacuum cleaner of the
type recommended by Hilti for wood dust and/or
mineral dust together with this tool. Ensure that
the workplace is well ventilated. The use of a
dust mask of filter class P2 is recommended.
Follow national requirements for the materials
you want to work with.
