Personal Safety - DeWalt D26411 Manual De Instrucciones

3) PERSONAL SAFETY

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a tool. Do not use a tool while
you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating tools
may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) 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
tools with your finger on the switch or energising tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
4) TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on and
off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
b) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the tool accidentally.
c) Store idle tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the tool or these
instructions to operate the tool. Tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
d) Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean for better and
safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if
damaged, have repaired by authorized service facility. Inspect
extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep
handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
e) Use the tool, accessories and etc., in accordance with
these instructions taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the tool
for operations different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
5) SERVICE
a) Have your tool serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure
that the safety of the tool is maintained.
Additional Safety Instructions for
Heat Guns
• Hidden areas such as behind walls, ceilings, floors, soffit boards
or other panels may contain flammable materials that could be
ignited by the hot air tool when working in these locations. The
ignition of these materials may not be readily apparent and could
result in property damage and injury to persons.
When working in these locations, keep the hot air tool moving in
a back-and-forth motion, lingering or pausing in one spot could
ignite the panel or the materials behind it. These heat guns are
capable of producing temperatures in excess of 1000˚ F.
• DO NOT USE THIS TOOL AS A HAIR DRYER.
• Allow the tool to cool before storing. Do not lay the heat gun on
flammable surfaces when operating the gun or immediately after
shutting it off. Always set the gun on a flat level surface so that
the nozzle tip is pointed upward.
• Always use good quality scrapers and stripping knives.
