The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (c) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety

  • Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
  • Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools can sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
  • Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power too. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

  • Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk electric shock.
  • Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
  • Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
  • Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, shared edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the of electric shock.
  • When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
  • If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

- Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious person injury.

HILTI

▶ Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
- Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invit accidents.
- Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power to on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power may result in personal injury.

HILTI

- Dust produced by grinding, sanding, cutting and drilling can contain dangerous chemicals. Some examples are: lead or lead-based paints; brick, concrete and other masonry products, natural stone and other products containing silicates; certain types of wood, such as oak, beech and chemically treated wood; asbestos or materials that contain asbestos. Determine the exposure of the operator and bystanders by means of the hazard classification of the materials to be worked. Implement the necessary measures to restrict exposure to a safe level, for example by the use of a dust collection system or by the wearing of suitable respiratory protection. The general measures for reducing exposure include:

▶ working in an area that is well ventilated,
- avoidance of prolonged contact with dust,
- directing dust away from the face and body,
- wearing protective clothing and washing exposed areas of the skin with water and soap.

Take frequent breaks and do physical exercises to improve the blood circulation in your fingers. High vibration during long periods of work lead to disorders of the blood vessels and nervous system in the finger hands and wrists.
