METABO KHEV 540 BL - General Safety Information - 1

For your own protection and for the protection of your power tool, pay attention to all parts of the text that are marked with this symbol!

METABO KHEV 540 BL - General Safety Information - 2

WARNING – Read the operating instructions to reduce the risk of injury.

METABO KHEV 540 BL - General Safety Information - 3

WARNING Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow all safety

warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Keep all safety instructions and information for future reference.

Always include these documents when passing on your power tool.

4. Special Safety Instructions

Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.

Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.

Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing 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.

Pull the plug out of the socket before making any adjustments, changing tools, carrying out maintenance or cleaning.

Always work with the additional handle correctly installed.

Always hold the machine with both hands on the intended handles, take a secure stance and concentrate on the work.

Always wear protective goggles, gloves, a dust mask and sturdy shoes when working with this tool.

Ensure that the place where you wish to work is free of power cables, gas lines or water pipes (e.g. check using a metal detector).

Work only with a correctly fitted tool. Pull on the tool to check that it is correctly seated. (It must be possible to move the tool a few centimetres in an axial direction.)

When working above ground level, ensure that the area below you is clear.

Never touch the tool or parts near the tool directly after work because they may be extremely hot and can cause burns to the skin,

Always position the power cable so that it leads away from the back of the machine.

A damaged or cracked additional handle must be replaced. Never operate a machine with a defective additional handle.

Secure the workpiece to prevent slipping or rotation (e.g. by securing with screw clamps).

Reducing dust exposure:

WARNING - Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

- Lead from lead-based paints,

- Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

- Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well-ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

This also applies to dust from other materials such as some timber types (like oak or beech dust), metals, asbestos. Other known diseases are e.g. allergic reactions, respiratory diseases. Do not let dust enter the body.

Observe the relevant guidelines and national regulations for your material, staff, application and place of application (e.g. occupational health and safety regulations, disposal).

Collect the particles generated at the source, avoid deposits in the surrounding area.

ENGLISHen

Use suitable accessories for special work. In this way, fewer particles enter the environment in an uncontrolled manner.

Use a suitable extraction unit.

Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:

  • do not direct the escaping particles and the exhaust air stream towards yourself or nearby persons or towards dust deposits,
  • use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers,
  • ensure good ventilation of the workplace and keep it clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or blowing stirs up dust.
  • Vacuum or wash protective clothing. Do not blow, beat or brush protective gear.
