▶ 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.
▶ Take frequent breaks and do physical exercises to improve the blood
circulation in your fingers. High vibration during long periods of work can
lead to disorders of the blood vessels and nervous system in the fingers,
hands and wrists.
Electrical safety
▶ Before beginning work, check the working area for concealed electric
cables or gas and water pipes. External metal parts of the product could
give you an electric shock or cause an explosion if you accidentally
damage an electric cable or a gas or water pipe.
Power tool use and care
▶ Switch the product off immediately if the accessory tool jams. The
product might twist off-line.
▶ Wait until the product stops completely before you lay it down.
2.4 Careful handling and use of batteries
▶ Observe the special guidelines applicable to the transport, storage and
use of lithium-ion batteries.
▶ Do not expose batteries to high temperatures, direct sunlight or fire.
▶ Do not disassemble, crush or incinerate batteries and do not subject
them to temperatures over 80 °C (176 °F).
▶ Do not use or charge batteries that have suffered mechanical impact,
have been dropped from a height or show signs of damage. In this case,
always contact your Hilti Service.
▶ If the battery is too hot to touch it may be defective. Put the battery in
a place where it is clearly visible and where there is no risk of fire, at an
adequate distance from flammable materials. Allow the battery to cool
