Machine-Specific Safety Notices For Cordless Drills; Health Hazard By Dust; Intended Use - Festool C 18 Li Manual De Instrucciones

Machine-specific safety notices for cord-
less drills
– Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Expo-
sure to noise can cause hearing loss.
– Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the
tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
– Hold power tool by insulated gripping surface,
when performing an operation where the cut-
ting accessory or fastener may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory or fas-
teners contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give
the operator an electric shock.
– Use suitable detectors to determine if utility
lines are hidden in the work area or call the lo-
cal utility company for assistance. Contact with
electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock.
Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Pene-
trating a water line causes property damage or
may cause an electric shock.
– Wear suitable protection: such as ear protec-
tion, safety goggles, a dust mask for work which
generates dust, and protective gloves when
working with raw materials and when changing
tools.
