CELO FORCE ONE+20 Betriebsanleitung Seite 6

5 The risks to others shall be assessed by the operator.
6 Ensure tool is always safely engaged on the workpiece and
cannot slip.
Operating hazards
1 Hold the tool correctly: be ready to counteract normal or
sudden movements such as recoil.
2 Maintain a balanced body position and secure footing.
3 Appropriate safety glasses shall be used and appropriate
gloves and protective clothing are recommended.
4 Dust masks, hearing protection, hard hats, safety shoes or
other personal protective equipment shall be required in
some work environments. Employers, tool owners and op-
erators must enforce use of appropriate personal protective
equipment for all personnel in a specific work environment.
NOTE: All personal protective equipment shall conform to
applicable standards such as ANSI A89.1 for head protec-
tion and 29 C.F.R. 1926.52 for hearing protection.
5 Only use the correct power supply for tool
Repetitive motions hazards
1 When using a tool for long periods, the operator may expe-
rience discomfort in the hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or
other parts of the body.
2 While using a tool, the operator should adopt a suitable but
ergonomic posture. Maintain secure footing and avoid awk-
ward or off-balanced postures.
3 If the operator experiences symptoms such as persistent or
recurring discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling,
numbness, burning sensation, or stiffness, do not ignore
these warning signs. The operator should consult a quali-
fied health professional regarding overall activities.
4 Any risk assessment should focus on muscular–skeletal
disorders and is preferentially based on the assumption that
decreasing fatigue during work is effective in reducing dis-
orders.
Accessory and consumable hazards
Use only fasteners and accessories made or recommended
by Celo, or fasteners and accessories that perform equiva-
lently to those recommended by Celo.
Workplace hazards
1 Slips, trips and falls are major causes of workplace injury.
Be aware of slippery surfaces caused by use of the tool.
2 Proceed with additional care in unfamiliar surroundings.
Hidden hazards may exist, such as electricity or other utility
lines.
3 The tool is not intended for use in potentially explosive at-
mospheres and is not insulated from coming into contact
with electric power.
4 Use extra caution when driving fasteners into existing walls
or other blind areas to prevent contact with hidden objects
or persons on other side (e.g., electrical cables, gas pipes.).
Dust and exhaust hazards
1 If the tool is used in an area where there is static dust, it may
disturb the dust and cause a hazard. Risk assessment
should include dust created by the use of the tool and the
potential for disturbing existing dust.
2 Direct the exhaust so as to minimize disturbance of dust in
a dust filled environment.
3 Where dust or exhaust hazards are created, the priority
shall be to control them by changing the tool exhaust direc-
tion.
Noise hazards
1 Unprotected exposure to high noise levels can cause per-
manent, disabling, hearing loss and other problems such as
tinnitus (ringing, buzzing, whistling or humming in the ears);
Risk assessment and implementation of appropriate con-
trols for these hazards are essential.
2 Appropriate controls to reduce the risk may include actions
such as damping materials to prevent workpieces from
"ringing".
3 Use appropriate hearing protection.
4 Operate and maintain the tool as recommended in the Safe-
ty/Operating instructions manuals, to prevent an unneces-
sary increase in noise levels.
Vibration hazards
1 Information to conduct a risk assessment of these hazards
and implementation of appropriate controls is essential.
2 Exposure to vibration can cause disabling damage to the
nerves and blood supply of the hands and arms.
3 Wear warm clothing when working in cold conditions, keep
your hands warm and dry.
4 If you experience numbness, tingling, pain or whitening of
the skin in your fingers or hands, seek medical advice from
a qualified occupational health professional regarding over-
all activities.
5 Operate and maintain the tool as recommended in these in-
structions, to prevent an unnecessary increase in vibration
levels.
Hold the tool with a light, but safe, grip because the risk from
6
vibration is generally greater when the grip force is higher.
7 If an operator is exposed to tool vibration for a long period
of time, they may be in danger of repetitive strain injuries.
Additional safety instructions for gas tools
1 Gas tools shall only be used with Fuel Cell which are listed
in the Operating instructions manual of the tool.
2 Be careful when using gas tools, as the tool can become
hot, affecting grip and control.
3 Gas tools shall be used in ventilated spaces.
In the case that liquid combustible gas comes into contact
4
with human skin, injuries may occur.
5 Ensure combustible materials are not exposed to hot ex-
haust gases.
6 Do not use gas tools in explosive areas as the sparks gen-
erated in the tool may cause fire or explosion.
7 For gas tools, a small release of gas might be generated by
regular operations.
8 Cautions for Fuel Cell
1. Handle Fuel Cell carefully and check for damages. Dam-
aged Fuel Cell can explode and cause injury.
2. Read and follow the instructions printed on the Fuel Cell.
3. Store Fuel Cell in well-ventilated area.
4. Do not expose the Fuel Cell to the direct sunshine.
5. Do not place the Fuel Cell in a vehicle or a trunk where the
temperature could rise. It could explode. A used empty Fuel
Cell still contains a combustible propellant gas, which could
swell and explode a container into pieces.
6. Store the Fuel Cell at ambient temperature of 49°C (120°F)
or lower.
7. The Fuel Cell contains the pressurized combustible gas. If
it is exposed to the temperature higher than 49°C (120°F),
the gas could leak from it or burst, resulting in a fire.
8. Do not breathe in the gas.
9. Do not incinerate or recycle the empty Fuel Cell.
10. Never jet the gas to the human body.
11. Do not remove the rubber plug from the bottom of the Fuel
Cell except at disposal.
12. Do not make a hole in the Fuel Cell by driving a nail with a
hammer.
9 Cautions for Charger and Battery
1. Use specified battery for the tool. Never connect the tool to
a power source or other rechargeable battery, dry cells or
storage battery for automobiles. Neglect of this could cause
breakage, trouble, heat generation or combustion.
2. Charge with specified charger. If charged with other charg-
er, it could fail to be properly charged as well as get broken,
ignited or generate the heat.
3. Charge the Battery at the specified voltage. Never charge
at other than the specified voltage. Neglect of this could
cause combustion or heat generation.
