Machine-Related Safety Instructions; Health Hazard By Dust - Festool RTS 400 EQ Manual De Instrucciones

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
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 battery pack from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures re-
duce 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 taking
into account the working conditions and the work
to be performed. Use of the power tool for opera-
tions different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles dry, clean and free of oil and
grease. Slippery handles do not allow for safe han-
dling and control of the tool in unexpected situa-
tions.
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed re-
pair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.

Machine-related safety instructions

– Harmful/toxic dusts can be produced during your
work (e.g. lead-containing paint, some types
of wood and metal). Contact with these dusts,
especially inhaling them, can represent a hazard
for operating personnel or persons in the vicinity.
Comply with the safety regulations that apply in
your country. Connect the electric power tool to
a suitable extraction system.
To protect your health, wear a P2 protective
mask.
Always wear protective goggles to protect
against sanding hazards.

Health hazard by dust

Various dust created by power sand-
ing, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construc-
tion activities contains chemicals known (to the
State of California) to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products,
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
The risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals work in a well ventilated
area and use approved safety equip-
ment, such as dust masks that are
specially designed to fi lter out micro-
scopic particles. Wash hands after
handling.
