Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping
surfaces when performing operations where
the application tool could contact hidden wir-
ing or its own power cord. Contact with a
“live” wire will also make exposed metal
parts of the power tool “live” and shock the
operator.
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 explo-
sion. Penetrating a water line causes property
damage or may cause an electric shock.
Do not direct the power tool against yourself,
other persons or animals. Danger of injury
from sharp or hot application tools.
For all work or when changing application
tools, always wear protective gloves. Danger
of injury from the sharp edges of the applica-
tion tools. Application tools can become very
hot while working. Danger of burns!
Grasp the power tool in such a safe manner
that your body never comes into contact with
the application tool, especially while working
with application tools such as saw blades or
other blades pointed toward the grasping
range. Touching sharp tips or cutting edges
can lead to injuries.
The power tool is not permitted for operations
or working with water supply. Water penetrat-
ing the motor casing can lead to electric
shock.
Do not rivet or screw any name-plates or signs
onto the power tool. If the insulation is dam-
aged, protection against an electric shock will
be ineffective. Adhesive labels are recom-
mended.
Clean the ventilation openings on the power
tool at regular intervals. The motor blower
draws dust into the housing. An excessive
accumulation of metallic dust can cause an
electrical hazard.
Handling hazardous dusts
When working with power
tools, such as when grinding,
sanding, polishing, sawing or for other work
procedures where material is removed, dusts
develop that are both hazardous to one’s health
and can spontaneously combust or be explosive.
Contact with or inhaling some dust types can
trigger allergic reactions to the operator or
bystanders and/or lead to respiratory infec-
tions, cancer, birth defects or other repro-
ductive harm.
Examples of such materials and therein con-
tained chemicals, where hazardous dusts can
develop when working them, are:
– Asbestos and materials containing asbestos;
– Lead-containing coatings, some wood types
such as beech and oak;
– Minerals and metal;
– Silicate particles from bricks, concrete and
other materials containing stone;
– Solvent from solvent-containing paint/var-
nish;
– Arsenic, chromium and other wood pre-
servatives;
– Materials for pesticide treatment on boot
and ship hulls.
To minimise the unwanted intake of these
materials:
– Use dust extraction matched appropriately
for the developing dust.
– Use personal protective equipment, such as
a P2 filter-class dust protection mask.
– Provide for good ventilation of the work-
place.
The risk from inhaling dusts depends on the
frequency how often these materials are
worked. Materials containing asbestos may
only be worked by specialists.
Wood and light-metal dust can
cause spontaneous combustion
or explosions.
Hot mixtures of sanding dust and paint/var-
nish remainders or other chemical materials
in the filter bag or the vac filter can self-ignite
under unfavourable conditions, such as spark-
ing from sanding metal, continuous sunlight
or high ambient temperatures. To prevent
this:
