Specific Safety Rules And Symbols - Hilti TE 2 Manual De Instrucciones

c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off position before plugging in. Carrying power
tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in
power tools that have the switch on invites acci-
dents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turn-
ing the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached
to a rotating part of the power tool may result in per-
sonal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the pow-
er tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
ellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used. Use of these devices
can reduce dust related hazards.
1.4 Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety mea-
sures reduce the risk of starting the power tool acci-
dentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the pow-
er tool or these instructions to operate the power
tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool's oper-
ation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,
in accordance with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular type of power
tool, taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could result
in a hazardous situation.
1.5 Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This

will ensure that the safety of the power tool is main-
tained.

2. Specific safety rules and symbols

2.1 Personal safety
a) Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
b) Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss
of control can cause personal injury.
c) Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the cutting
tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Con-
tact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts
of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
d) Keep the grips dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
e) Exercise your fingers during pauses between work
to improve the blood circulation in your fingers.
f ) Avoid contact with rotating parts. Switch the tool
on only once it has been brought into the working
position close to the workpiece.
g) Breathing protection must be worn when the tool is
used without a dust removal system for work that
creates dust.
h) To avoid tripping and falling when working, always
lead the sypply cord, extension cord and dust extrac-
tion hose away to the rear.
i ) When drilling or chiseling through-holes, check that
no person is present in the danger area immedi-
ately behind the work surface.
j) Children must be instructed not to play with the
tool.
k) The tool is not intended for use by children,by
debilitated persons or those who have received
no instruction or training.
l) WARNING: Some dust created by grinding, sand-
ing, cutting and drilling contains chemicals known
to cause cancer, birth defects, infertility or other
reproductive harm; or serious and permanent res-
piratory or other injury. Some examples of these
chemicals are: lead from leadbased paints, crystalline
silica from bricks, concrete and other masonry prod-
ucts and natural stone, arsenic and chromium from
chemicallytreated lumber. Your risk from these expo-
sures varies, depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce exposure to these chemicals,
the operator and bystanders should work in a well-
ventilated area, work with approved safety equip-
ment, such as respiratory protection appropriate
for the type of dust generated, and designed to fil-
ter out microscopic particles and direct dust away
from the face and body. Avoid prolonged contact
with dust. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed
areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into
your mouth, eyes, or to remain on your skin may pro-
mote absorption of harmful chemicals.
2.2 Power tool use and care
a) Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to hold
the workpiece in place. The workpiece is thus held
