Before Use; Fitting The Side Handle; Working With The Tool - Hilti DEG 500-D Manual De Instrucciones

5.3.3 Electrical safety
a) Before beginning work, check the working area
(e.g. using a metal detector) to ensure that no
concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes
are present. External metal parts of the power tool
may become live, for example, when an electric cable
is damaged accidentally. This presents a serious risk
of electric shock.
b) Check the power tool's supply cord at regular
intervals and have it replaced by a qualified spe-
cialist if found to be damaged. If the power tool's
supply cord is damaged it must be replaced with
a specially-prepared supply cord available from
Hilti Customer Service. Check extension cords
at regular intervals and replace them if found to
be damaged. Do not touch the supply cord or
extension cord if it is damaged while working.
Disconnect the supply cord plug from the power
outlet. Damaged supply cords or extension cords
present a risk of electric shock.
c) Dirty or dusty power tools which have been used
frequently for work on conductive materials
should be checked at regular intervals at a Hilti
Service Center. Under unfavorable circumstances,
dampness or dust adhering to the surface of

6 Before use

WARNING
Never use the power tool without its matching disc
guard.

6.1 Fitting the side handle

WARNING

The side handle may be screwed onto the power tool on
the right or left.

6.2 Working with the tool

Take care to ensure that the closed side of the guard is
always positioned toward the operator's body.
Adjust the position of the guard to suit the requirements
of the work being done.
the power tool, especially dust from conductive
materials, may present a risk of electric shock.
d) When working outdoors with an electric tool
check to ensure that the tool is connected to the
electric supply by way of a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) with a rating of max. 30 mA
(tripping current). Use of a ground fault circuit
interrupter reduces the risk of electric shock.
e) Use of a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
with a maximum tripping current of 30 mA is
recommended.
5.3.4 Work area
a) Ensure that the workplace is well lit.
b) Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated. Ex-
posure to dust at a poorly ventilated workplace may
result in damage to the health.
5.3.5 Personal protective equipment
The user and any other persons in the vicinity must
wear ANSI Z87.1-approved eye protection, a hard
hat, ear protection, protective gloves and breathing
protection while the power tool is in use.
