3.9- Additional Safety Instructions
a- Wear safety goggles
b- Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the
local utility company for assistance. The contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric
shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line can cause property
damage or may cause an electric shock.
c- Release the On/Off switch and set it to the “OFF” position when the power supply is
interrupted,
e. g., in case of a power failure or when the mains plug is pulled. This prevents uncontrolled
restarting.
d- When working stone, use dust extraction. The vacuum cleaner must be approved for the
extraction of stone dust. Using this equipment reduces dust-related hazards.
e- Use a cutting guide when cutting stone. Without sideward guidance, the cutting disc can jam
and cause kickback.
f- When working with the machine, always hold it firmly with both hands and provide for a
secure stance. The power tool is guided more secure with both hands.
g- Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more
secure than by hand.
h- Keep your workplace clean. The mixture of materials is particularly dangerous. Dust from
light alloys can burn or explode.
i- Never use the tool with a damaged cable. Do not touch the damaged cable and pull the
mains plug when the cable is damaged while working.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
A damaged cable increases the risk of an electric shock.
3.10-
Residual risks
Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk factors. The
following hazards may arise in connection with the tool’s construction and design:
a. Damage to lungs if an effective dust mask is not worn.
b. Damage to hearing if effective hearing protection is not worn.
c. Health defects resulting from vibration emission if the power tool is being used over longer period
of time or not adequately managed and properly maintained.
3.11- Noise, vibrations and electromagnetic field information
a- Noise level
Wear hearing protection while operating the power tool.
The noise level has been measured in accordance with a standard test method (EN60745).
The declared noise level values are mentioned in the characteristics table.
b- Vibration level
The declared vibration total value has been measured in accordance with a standard test method and
may be used for comparing one tool with another.
The declared vibration total value may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
Warning!
The vibration emission during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared
total value depending on the ways in which the tool is used.
There is the need to identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation of
exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the
times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).
Prolonged used of a tool (or other machines) may expose the operator to vibrations that may
product white finger disease (Raynaud’s syndrome) or carpal tunnel syndrome.
