Work Area; Personal Protective Equipment; Safety Precautions - Hilti WSC 70-A36 Manual De Instrucciones

o) Never direct the power tool toward persons.
p) Adjust the pressure applied to the saw blade and
the material being cut so that the blade doesn't
stall, possibly causing the power tool to kick back.
q) Children must be instructed not to play with the
power tool.
r) The power tool is not intended for use by children,
by debilitated persons or those who have received
no instruction or training.
s) Dust from material such as paint containing lead,
some wood species, minerals and metal may be
harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may
cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases
to the operator or bystanders. Certain kinds of dust
are classified as carcinogenic such as oak and beech
dust especially in conjunction with additives for wood
conditioning (chromate, wood preservative). Material
containing asbestos must only be treated by special-
ists. Where the use of a dust extraction device is
possible it shall be used. To achieve a high level
of dust collection, use a suitable vacuum cleaner
of the type recommended by Hilti for wood dust
and/or mineral dust together with this tool. Ensure
that the workplace is well ventilated. The use of a
dust mask of filter class P2 is recommended. Fol-
low national requirements for the materials you
want to work with.
5.6.2 Power tool use and care
a) Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to
secure the workpiece. The workpiece is thus held
more securely than by hand and both hands remain
free to operate the power tool.
b) Check that the insert tools used are compatible
with the chuck system and that they are secured
in the chuck correctly.
5.6.3 Electrical safety
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.
5.6.4 Battery use and care
a) Observe the special instructions applicable to the
transport, storage and use of Li-ion batteries.
b) Do not expose batteries to high temperatures or
fire. This presents a risk of explosion.
c) Do not disassemble, squash or incinerate batter-
ies and do not subject them to temperatures over
80°C. A risk of fire, explosion or injury through con-
tact with caustic substances may otherwise result.
d) Do not use batteries other than those approved
for use with the applicable power tool or appli-
ance. Use of other batteries or use of the battery for
purposes for which it is not intended presents a risk
of fire and explosion.
e) Do not charge or continue to use damaged bat-
teries (e.g. batteries with cracks, broken parts,
bent or pushed-in and/or pulled-out contacts).
f) If the battery gets too hot to touch, this may indicate
that it is faulty. Place the tool in a location where
it can be kept under observation, well away from
flammable materials, and allow it to cool down.
Contact Hilti Service after the battery has been
allowed to cool.

5.6.5 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.

5.6.6 Personal protective equipment

The user and any other persons in the vicinity must
wear suitable eye protection, a hard hat, ear protec-
tion, protective gloves and breathing protection while
the tool is in use.

5.6.7 Safety precautions

Do not switch the power tool on if the saw blade, the
blade guard, the pivoting guard or the riving knife are
not fitted correctly.
