Additional Safety Precautions; Personal Protective Equipment - Hilti TE 905-AVR Bedienungsanleitung

5.2 Additional safety precautions

5.2.1 Personal safety
a) Wear ear protection. Excessive noise may lead to a
loss of hearing.
b) Use the auxiliary handle supplied with the tool. Loss
of control of the tool may lead to injury.
c) Always hold the tool securely, with both hands on
the grips provided. Keep the tool, especially its grip
surfaces, clean and free from oil and grease.
d) Breathing protection must be worn when the tool is
used without a dust removal system.
e) Exercise your fingers during pauses between work
to improve the blood circulation in your fingers.
f) To avoid tripping and falling when working, always
lead the sypply cord, extension cord and dust extrac-
tion hose away tho the rear.
g) The tool is not intended for use by children, by debil-
itated persons or those who have received no instruc-
tion 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 harm-
ful. 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 clas-
sified as carcinogenic such as oak and beech dust
especially in conjunction with additives for wood con-
ditioning (chromate, wood preservative). Material
containing asbestos must only be treated by spe-
cialists. 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 dust mask
of filter class P2 is recommended. Follow national
requirements for the materials you want to work
with.
5.2.2 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.
b) Check the condition of the supply cord and its plug
connections and have it replaced by a qualified elec-
trician if damage is found. Check the condition of
the extension cord and replace it if damage is found.
Do not touch the supply in the event of it suffering
damage while working. Disconnect the supply cord
plug from the socket. Damaged supply cords and
extension cords present a risk of electric shock.
c) Dirty or dusty electric tools should thus be checked
at a Hilti service center at regular intervals, espe-
cially if used frequently for working on conductive
materials. Dust (especially dust from conductive

materials) or dampness adhering to the surface of
the tool may, under unfavorable conditions, present
a risk of electric shock.
5.2.3 Power tool use and care
a) 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.
b) In the event of a power faillure, switch the tool off
and unplug the supply cord. This prevents inadver-
tent starting when the power returns.
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.
5.2.4 Work area
a) Ensure that the workplace is well lit.
b) Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated.
Poorly 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

ing protection must be worn if no dust removal sys-
tem is used.
