Additional Safety Precautions - Hilti XBT 4000-A Manual De Instrucciones

5.1.5 Battery tool use and care
a) Ensure the switch is in the off position before insert-
ing battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into
power tools that have the switch on invites acci-
dents.
b) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one
type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when
used with another battery pack.
c) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
d) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws, or other small metal objects that
can make a connection from one terminal to anoth-
er. Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
e) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acci-
dentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid eject-
ed from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
5.1.6 Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only genuine replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is main-
tained.

5.2 Additional safety precautions

5.2.1 Personal safety
a) Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
b)Avoid contact with rotating parts. Switch the tool
on only once it has been brought into the working
position close to the workpiece. Touching rotating
parts, especially rotating drill bits, discs or blades,
etc., may lead to injury.
c) Breathing protection must be worn when the tool
is used without a dust removal system for work
that creates dust.
d)Avoid unintentional starting. Do not carry the tool
with your finger on the on / off switch. Use the trans-
port safety switch (forward / reverse switch in the
middle position) when the tool is not in use, dur-
ing pauses between work, before maintenance,
when changing bits and during transport.
e)Operate the tool only as directed and only when it
is in faultless condition.
f) Wear protective gloves when changing insert tools.
The insert tool may become hot during use.
g) The tool is not intended for use by children, by
debilitated persons or those who have received
no instruction or training.
h) Children must be instructed not to play with the
tool.

i) Dust from material such as paint containing lead,
some wood species, minerals and metal may be
harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may
cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases
to the operator or bystanders. Certain kinds of dust
are classified as carcinogenic such as oak and beech
dust especially in conjunction with additives for
wood conditioning (chromate, wood preservative).
Material containing asbestos must only be treated
by specialists. Where the use of a dust extraction
device is possible it shall be used. To achieve a
high level of dust collection, use a suitable vacu-
um cleaner of the type recommended by Hilti for
wood dust and/or mineral dust together with this
tool. Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated.
The use of a dust mask of filter class P2 is recom-
mended. Follow national requirements for the mate-
rials you want to work with.
5.2.2 Power tool use and care
a) Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to hold
the workpiece in place. The workpiece is thus held
more securely than by hand and both hands remain
free to operate the tool.
b) Ensure that the insert tools used are equipped with
the appropriate connection end system and that
they are properly fitted and secured in the chuck .
c) Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when per-
forming an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with
a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the
tool "live" and shock the operator.
5.2.3 Electrical safety
a) Before beginning work, check the working area (e.g.
with a metal detector) to ensure that no concealed
electric cables or gas and water pipes are present.
External metal parts of the tool may become live if,
for example, an electric cable is damaged inadvertenly.
This presents a serious risk of electric shock.
5.2.4 Work area
a) Ensure that the workplace is well lit.
b) Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated. Poor-
ly ventilated workplaces may be injurious to the
health due to exposeure to dust.
5.2.5 Personal protective equipment
The user and any other persons in the vicinity must
wear suitable eye protection, a hard hat, ear protection
and protective gloves when the tool is in use. Breath-
ing protection must be worn if no dust removal sys-
tem is used.
