Personal safety
▶ Use the product and accessories only when they are in perfect working
order.
▶ Never tamper with or modify the product or accessories in any way.
▶ Use auxiliary handles supplied with the product. Loss of control can
cause personal injury.
▶ Apply appropriate safety measures at the opposite side of the workpiece
in work that involves breaking through. Parts breaking away could fall
out and / or fall down causing injury to other persons.
▶ Always hold the tool with both hands on the grips provided. Keep the
grips clean and dry.
▶ Hold the product by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing
work in which the accessory tool might come into contact with concealed
wiring. If the accessory tool comes into contact with a live wire, metal
parts of the power tool can also become live, resulting in an electric
shock.
▶ Do not touch rotating parts – risk of injury!
▶ Wear eye protection, a hard hat and ear protection and suitable respira-
tory protection while the product is in use.
▶ Wear protective gloves when changing the accessory tool. Touching the
accessory tool can result in cuts and burns.
▶ Wear eye protection. Flying fragments can injure the body and eyes.
▶ Dust produced by grinding, sanding, cutting and drilling can contain
dangerous chemicals. Some examples are: lead or lead-based paints;
brick, concrete and other masonry products, natural stone and other
products containing silicates; certain types of wood, such as oak,
beech and chemically treated wood; asbestos or materials that contain
asbestos.
Determine the exposure of the operator and bystanders
by means of the hazard classification of the materials to be worked.
Implement the necessary measures to restrict exposure to a safe level,
for example by the use of a dust collection system or by the wearing
of suitable respiratory protection. The general measures for reducing
exposure include:
▶ working in an area that is well ventilated,
▶ avoidance of prolonged contact with dust,
▶ directing dust away from the face and body,
▶ wearing protective clothing and washing exposed areas of the skin
with water and soap.
