Residual Risks - Ryobi R18Ag7-140S Anleitung

ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product
damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your
tool, battery pack or charger in fluid or allow a fluid to
flow inside them. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such
as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach
or bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a short
circuit.
TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES
Transport the battery in accordance with local and national
provisions and regulations.
Follow all special requirements on packaging and labelling
when transporting batteries by a third party. Ensure that
no batteries can come in contact with other batteries
or conductive materials while in transport by protecting
exposed connectors with insulating, non-conductive caps
or tape. Do not transport batteries that are cracked or
leaking. Check with the forwarding company for further
advice.

RESIDUAL RISKS

Even when the angle grinder is used as prescribed, it is
still impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk
factors. The following hazards may arise and the operator
should pay special attention to avoid the following:
Injury caused by thrown-off particles
– Metal or abrasive particles may enter the eyes and
cause severe permanent damage. Wear goggles
approved for grinding operations whenever you use
the product.
Injury caused by vibration
– Limit exposure. See Risk Reduction.
Injury caused by dust
– Wear appropriate dust control mask with filters
suitable for protecting against particles from the
material being worked on and abrasive particles
from the grinding disc. Do not eat, drink, or smoke
in the work area. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Injury from contact with the grinding disc
– The disc and workpiece will become hot during
use. Wear gloves when changing discs or touching
workpiece. Keep hands away from the grinding
area at all times. Clamp the workpiece whenever
possible.
Injury caused by noise
– Prolonged exposure to noise will increase the risk
of hearing damage, and the effects are cumulative.
When using power tools for any extended period of
time, wear hearing protection.
WARNING
Injuries may be caused or aggravated by prolonged use
of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods,
ensure you take regular breaks.
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from handheld tools
may contribute to a condition called Raynaud's Syndrome
in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling,
numbness and blanching of the fingers, usually apparent
upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to
cold and dampness, diet, smoking, and work practices
are all thought to contribute to the development of these
symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by the
operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating
the product, wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists
warm. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor
contributing to Raynaud's Syndrome.
After each period of operation, exercise to increase
blood circulation.
Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of
exposure per day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition,
immediately discontinue use and see your doctor about
these symptoms.

MAINTENANCE
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types
of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their
use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease,
etc.
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields during power product operation or when blowing
dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
To avoid serious personal injury, always remove
the battery pack from the product when cleaning or
performing any maintenance.
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal
injury.
Only the parts shown on the parts list are intended to
be repaired or replaced by the customer. All other parts
should be replaced at an authorized service center.
WARNING
Do not use compressed air to blow dust from the product.
This practice is dangerous and can cause dirt and grit to
be blasted into someone's eyes, causing serious injury.
