Additional Safety Precautions - Hilti TE 106 Manual De Instrucciones

ive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the
power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
en
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
tools operation. 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
maintained 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.
5.1.5 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 maintained.

5.2 Additional safety precautions

5.2.1 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.
Contact 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) Wear a dust mask.
f) Improve the blood circulation in your fingers by
relaxing your hands and exercising your fingers
during breaks between working.
g) Always lead the supply cord and extension cord
away from the power tool to the rear while

working. This helps to avoid tripping over the cord
while working.
5.2.2 Power tool use and care
a) Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice
to secure the workpiece. The workpiece is thus
held more securely than by hand and both hands
remain free to operate the power tool.
b) Check that the insert tools used are compatible
with the chuck system and that they are secured
in the chuck correctly.
c) Switch the power tool off and unplug the supply
cord in the event of a power failure or interruption
in the electric supply. Release the switch lock-
button (if applicable). This will prevent accidental
restarting when the electric power returns.
5.2.3 Electrical safety
a) Before beginning work, check the working area
(e.g. using a metal detector) to ensure that no
concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes
are present. External metal parts of the power tool
may become live, for example, when an electric
cable is damaged accidentally. This presents a
serious risk of electric shock.
b) Check the power tool's supply cord at regular
intervals and have it replaced by a qualified
specialist if found to be damaged. Check ex-
tension cords at regular intervals and replace
them if found to be damaged. Do not touch the
supply cord or extension cord if it is damaged
while working. Disconnect the supply cord plug
from the power outlet. Damaged supply cords or
extension cords present a risk of electric shock.
c) Dirty or dusty power tools which have been
used frequently for work on conductive materi-
als should be checked at regular intervals at a
Hilti Service Center. Under unfavorable circum-
stances, dampness or dust adhering to the surface
of the power tool, especially dust from conductive
materials, may present a risk of electric shock.
d) When working outdoors with an electric tool
check to ensure that the tool is connected to the
electric supply by way of a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) with a rating of max. 30 mA
