Vibration Hazards - Würth DIGA WO-1/21 Traducción Del Manual De Instrucciones De Servicio Original

Vibration hazards

Appropriate information is essential for car-
■
rying out a risk assessment of these hazards
and implementing suitable checks.
Vibrations can result in harm to the nerves and
■
blood supply of the hands and arms.
When working in cold conditions, wear warm
■
clothing and keep your hands warm and dry.
If you notice any numbness, tingling, pain or
■
whitening of the skin of your fingers or hands,
consult a qualified occupational health practiti-
oner and tell them about all of your tasks.
Operate and maintain the tool according to
■
the recommendations in this manual to prevent
an unnecessary increase in the vibration level.
Hold the tool with a light but secure grip be-
■
cause the risk of vibrations is generally higher
if more force is used during gripping.
If an operator is exposed to tool vibrations
■
for a long time, there is a risk that they will be
subject to repeating loads.
Additional safety instructions for
gas-operated devices
Gas-operated devices may only be used with
■
the gas cartridges listed in the Technical data.
Apply extra caution when using gas-operated
■
devices because they can become hot, impai-
ring your grip and control.
Only use gas-operated devices in well-venti-
■
lated rooms.
If liquid flammable gas comes into contact
■
with the skin, injuries may result.
Ensure that flammable materials are not
■
exposed to hot exhaust gases.
Do not use gas-operated devices in explosive
■
areas because sparks in the device can cause
fires or an explosion.
A small quantity of gas may be released
■
during normal operation with gas-operated
devices.
Gas canisters must be labelled according to
■
the relevant transport regulations.
Precautions for the gas cartridge
Handle the gas cartridge carefully and check
■
it for damage. Damaged gas cartridges can
explode and cause injuries.

Safety instructions
Always read and comply with the instructions
■
on the gas cartridge.
Store the gas cartridge in a well-ventilated area.
■
Do not expose the gas cartridge to direct
■
sunlight.
Do not leave gas cartridges in a vehicle or
■
luggage compartment in which the temperature
could increase. Otherwise, they could explode.
Even a used empty gas cartridge still contains
flammable propellant gas, which could expand
and cause a canister to explode.
Do not store gas cartridges in an ambient
■
temperature of greater than 40 °C.
The fuel cell contains pressurised flammable
■
gas. If it is exposed to temperatures greater
than 40 °C, gas could escape or it could burst
causing a fire.
Do not inhale the gas.
■
Do not burn or recycle empty gas cartridges.
■
Never spray the gas towards a human body.
■
Only remove the rubber plugs on the bottom
■
side of the gas cartridge for disposal purposes.
Do not make any holes in the gas cartridge,
■
e.g. by hammering a nail into it.
Disposal must be carried out in accordance
■
with official regulations.
Dispose of contents/containers in accordance
■
with the sorting instructions provided by the
licensed waste collector.
Precautions for the charger and battery
Only use the battery specified for the tool.
■
Never connect the device to a power source or
to any other rechargeable battery, a dry cell or
a vehicle battery. Non-observation could result
in breakages, faults, heat generation or burns.
Charging must be performed with the specified
■
charger. If charging is performed with a
different charger, malfunctions can occur, or
the device might be damaged, explode or
generate heat.
Only charge the battery at the specified vol-
■
tage. Never use a charging voltage other than
the specified voltage. Failure to comply could
result in burns or heat formation.
Do not use any transformers such as boosters,
■
motor generators or DC sources to charge the
battery. Failure to comply will result in a fault or
deep discharging of the charger.
