Wear suitable personal protective equip­
ment: Ear protection, protective goggles,
dust mask for work that generates dust,
protective gloves for working with rough
materials and for changing tools.
Grip the electric power tool securely so
–
that your body never comes into contact
with the operating tool, especially when
working with saw blades or cutting tools
directed towards the grip area, for exam­
ple. Contact with sharp blades or edges
can result in injuries.
After machining materials that contain
–
gypsum: Clean the vents of the power tool
and on/off switch using dry, oil-free com­
pressed air. Otherwise, gypsum dust de­
posits may build up inside the power tool's
housing and on the on/off switch and hard­

complete halt before placing it down. The
insertion tool can get caught and lead to a
loss of control of the power tool.

–
party battery packs to operate cordless
power tools. Do not use third-party charg­
ers to charge the battery packs. The use of
accessories not expressly authorised by the
manufacturer can result in electric shocks
and/or serious accidents.

Health hazard by dust

WARNING! various dust created by pow­
er sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and
other construction activities contains chemicals
known (to the State of California) to cause can­
cer, 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, and
• 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 re­
duce your exposure to these chemicals: work in
a well ventilated area, and work with approved
safety equipment, such as dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic par­
ticles. Wash hands after handling.
