Additional Safety Instructions; Work Area - Hilti TE 80-ATC Bedienungsanleitung

5.3 Additional safety instructions

5.3.1 Personal safety
a) Always hold the power tool securely with both
hands on the grips provided. Keep the grips dry,
clean and free from oil and grease.
b) Breathing protection must be worn if the power
en
tool is used without a dust removal system for
work that creates dust.
c) Improve the blood circulation in your fingers by
relaxing your hands and exercising your fingers
during breaks between working.
d) Avoid touching rotating parts. Switch the power
tool on only after bringing it into position at the
workpiece. Touching rotating parts, especially
rotating insert tools, may lead to injury.
e) Always lead the supply cord and extension cord
away from the power tool to the rear while
working. This helps to avoid tripping over the
cord while working.
f) When using the power tool for mixing, set the
function selector switch to "Hammer drilling"
and wear protective gloves.
g) Children must be instructed not to play with the
power tool.
h) The power tool is not intended for use by chil-
dren, by debilitated persons or those who have
received no instruction or training.
5.3.2 Power tool use and care
a) Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice
to secure the workpiece. The workpiece is thus
held more securely than by hand and both hands
remain free to operate the power tool.
b) Check that the insert tools used are compatible
with the chuck system and that they are secured
in the chuck correctly.
c) Always work from a secure, safe stance.
5.3.3 Electrical safety
a) Before beginning work, check the working area
(e.g. using a metal detector) to ensure that
no concealed electric cables or gas and water
pipes are present. External metal parts of the
power tool may become live, for example, when
an electric cable is damaged accidentally. This
presents a serious risk of electric shock.

b) Check the power tool's supply cord at regular
intervals and have it replaced by a qualified
specialist if found to be damaged. If the power
tool's supply cord is damaged it must be re-
placed with a specially-prepared supply cord
available from Hilti Customer Service. Check
extension cords at regular intervals and replace
them if found to be damaged. Do not touch the
supply cord or extension cord if it is damaged
while working. Disconnect the supply cord plug
from the power outlet. Damaged supply cords or
extension cords present a risk of electric shock.
c) Dirty or dusty power tools which have been
used frequently for work on conductive mater-
ials should be checked at regular intervals at
a Hilti Service Center. Under unfavorable cir-
cumstances, dampness or dust adhering to the
surface of the power tool, especially dust from
conductive materials, may present a risk of elec-
tric shock.
d) When working outdoors with an electric tool
check to ensure that the tool is connected to the
electric supply by way of a ground fault circuit
interrupter (RCD) with a rating of max. 30 mA
(tripping current). Use of a ground fault circuit
interrupter reduces the risk of electric shock.
e) Use of a ground fault circuit interrupter (RCD re-
sidual current device) with a maximum tripping
current of 30 mA is recommended.

5.3.4 Work area

a) Ensure that the workplace is well lit.
b) Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated.
Exposure to dust at a poorly ventilated workplace
may result in damage to the health.
c) 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 vacuum 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
