Personal Safety; The Material Picked Up - Hilti DD-WMS 100 Manual De Instrucciones

▶ Insert the plug in a suitable earthed/grounded power outlet which has been correctly and safely installed
and is in compliance with local regulations. If you are in doubt about the effectiveness of the power
outlet's earth/ground connection, have it checked by a qualified specialist.
▶ Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cookers, stoves and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
▶ Do not expose the appliance to rain. Water entering an electric appliance will increase the risk of electric shock.
▶ Check to ensure that the supply cord does not lie in a puddle of water.
▶ Check the appliance's supply cord at regular intervals and have it replaced by Hilti Service if damage is
found. Check extension cords at regular intervals and replace them if found to be damaged.
▶ Do not touch the supply cord or extension cord if they are damaged while working. Disconnect the
supply cord plug from the power outlet. Damaged supply cords or extension cords present a risk of
electric shock.
▶ The electric supply cord may be replaced only with a cord of the type specified in the operating
instructions.
▶ Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the appliance. Keep the
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
▶ When operating an electric appliance outdoors, use only extension cords of a type suitable for outdoor
use. Use of an extension cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
▶ In the event of an interruption in the electric supply, switch the appliance off and unplug it from the power
outlet.
▶ Use the built-in power outlet only for tools with ratings in the range for which the socket is rated.
▶ Never operate the appliance when it is dirty or wet. Dust (especially dust from conductive materials) or
dampness adhering to the surface of the appliance may, under unfavorable conditions, lead to electric
shock. Dirty or dusty appliances should thus be checked by Hilti Service at regular intervals, especially
if used frequently for working on conductive materials.

Personal safety

▶ Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the device. Do not use the
tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating the tool may result in serious personal injury.
▶ The user and any other persons in the vicinity must wear suitable eye protection, a hard hat, ear
protection, protective gloves, safety footwear and breathing protection while the appliance is in use or
while maintenance work on it is being carried out.
▶ Make sure that the workplace is well ventilated and, where necessary, wear a respirator appropriate for
the type of dust generated. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic reactions and/or
respiratory or other diseases among operators or bystanders. Certain kinds of dust are classified as
carcinogenic such as oak and beech dust, especially in conjunction with additives for wood conditioning
(chromate, wood preservative). Material containing asbestos may be handled only by specialists.
▶ Engage the wheel brakes so that the tool stands securely. If the wheel brakes are not locked, the tool
can begin to roll unchecked.
▶ If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of a vacuum cleaner can reduce dust-related hazards.
2.4 Safety instructions for use
• Before beginning work, the operating personnel must be informed on using the tool, on any hazards
associated with the material and on the safe disposal of the material vacuumed up.
• Use of the appliance to clean down persons or animals is not permissible.
• Do not use the device for stationary, steady-state operation in automatic or semi-automatic systems.
• Do not use the tool casing as a substitute for a ladder.
• Do not use the tool under water.
2.5

The material picked up

▶ Do not use the appliance to pick up flammable or explosive dusts (magnesium or aluminum dust etc.) or
dusts that present a health hazard. Do not use the appliance to pick up materials with a temperature of
over 60 °C (e.g. glowing cigarettes, hot ash).
