Special Safety Instructions - Metabo ISA 18 LTX 24 Instrucciones De Manejo

en ENGLISH
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 the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
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
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 operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
2.5 Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
2.6 Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.

3. Special Safety Instructions

CAUTION! The device is not suitable for extracting
hazardous dust.
CAUTION! The machine is only suitable for
extracting dry dust and should not be used or stored
outside in wet conditions.
In case of a defective integrated dust extraction:
Remove the integrated dust extraction from the
rotary hammer.
Remove the battery pack from the machine before
making any adjustments, changing tools,
maintaining or cleaning.
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can
cause hearing loss.
Always wear protective goggles, gloves and sturdy
shoes when working with your integrated dust
extraction.
Do not touch the rotating tool!
The dust that collects in the integrated dust
extraction may contain fine quartz dust as well as
other hazardous substances. Fine quartz dust is
carcinogenic and should not enter the body. When
emptying the dust cassette and disposing of dust,
avoid disturbing and breathing the dust in.
Reducing dust exposure:
Some dust created by using this power tool
contains substances known to the state of
California to cause cancer, allergic reaction,
respiratory disease, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these
substances are: lead (from lead-based paints),
crystalline silica (from bricks, cement, etc.),
additives for wood treatment (chromate, wood
preservative), some types of wood (like oak and
beech dust), metals, asbestos.
The risk from exposure to such substances will
depend on how long the user or bystanders are
being exposed.
Do not let particles enter the body.
To reduce exposure to these substances: work in a
well ventilated area and wear approved protective
equipment, such as dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Observe the relevant guidelines for your material,
staff, application and place of application (e.g.
occupational health and safety regulations,
disposal).
Collect the generated particles at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area.
Use only suitable accessories. In this way, fewer
particles enter the environment in an uncontrolled
manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
- Do not direct the escaping particles and the
exhaust air stream at yourself or nearby persons
or on dust deposits.
- Use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers.
- Ensure good ventilation of the workplace and
keep it clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping
or blowing stirs up dust.
