Noise hazards
Unprotected contact with high noise levels can
■
result in permanent hearing damage, hearing
loss and other problems such as tinnitus
(ringing, buzzing, whistling or humming noise
in the ears). A risk assessment and the intro-
duction of suitable checks for such hazards
are therefore vital.
Suitable measures for reduction of the risk
■
include, amongst others, material insulation
measures in order to prevent workpieces from
"ringing".
Use suitable hearing protection.
■
Operate and maintain the tool according to
■
the recommendations in the safety/operation
section to prevent an unnecessarily high noise
level.
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 practi-
tioner 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 fuel cells listed in the Technical Data.
Apply extra caution when using gas-oper-
■
ated devices because they can become hot,
impairing your grip and control.
Only use gas-operated devices in well-venti-
■
lated rooms.
Safety instructions
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 fuel cell
Handle the fuel cell carefully and check it for
■
damage. Damaged fuel cells can explode and
cause injuries.
Always read and comply with the instructions
■
on the fuel cell.
Store the fuel cell in a well-ventilated area.
■
Do not expose the fuel cell to direct sunlight.
■
Do not leave fuel cells in a vehicle or luggage
■
compartment in which the temperature could
increase. Otherwise, they could explode. Even
a used empty fuel cell still contains flammable
propellant gas, which could expand and
cause a canister to explode.
Do not store fuel cells in an ambient tempera-
■
ture 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 fuel cells.
■
Never spray the gas towards a human body.
■
Only remove the rubber plugs on the bottom
■
side of the fuel cell for disposal purposes.
Do not make any holes in the fuel cell, e.g. by
■
hammering a nail into it.
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 genera-
tion or burns.
