Specific Safety Rules; Health Hazard By Dust - Festool OF 1400 EQ Manual De Instrucciones

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on. A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper foot-
ing and balance 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 con-
nection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used. Use of these devices
can reduce dust related hazards.
4) 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 de-
signed.
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 before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures re-
duce the risk of starting the power tool ac-
cidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children 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 mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condi-
tion that may affect the power tools op-
eration. 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 and in the manner intended
for the particular type of power tool, 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) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualifi ed repair person using only identi-
cal replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Specifi c Safety Rules
a) Hold power tools by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hid-
den wiring or its own cord. Contact with a
"live" wire will make exposed metal parts of
the tool "live" and shock the operator.
b) Use clamps or another suitable means
to support and secure the workpiece to
a stable platform. Holding the workpiece
by hand or against your body is unstable and
may lead to loss of control.

Health hazard by dust

Various dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction 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, depend-
ing 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.
