Hilti UH 700 Manual De Instrucciones Original página 12

▶ Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
▶ Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, 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.
▶ Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Service
▶ 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.
2.2 Drill safety warnings
Safety instructions for all operations
▶ Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
▶ Use the auxiliary handle(s). Loss of control can cause personal injury.
▶ Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
Safety instructions when using long drill bits
▶ Never operate at higher speed than the maximum speed rating of the drill bit. At higher speeds,
the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal
injury.
▶ Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip in contact with the workpiece. At higher
speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in
personal injury.
▶ Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can bend
causing breakage or loss of control, resulting in personal injury.
2.3 Additional safety instructions
Personal safety
▶ Use the product and accessories only when they are in perfect working order.
▶ Never tamper with or modify the product and accessories in any way.
▶ Always hold the product with both hands on the grips provided. Keep the grips dry, clean and free from
oil and grease.
▶ Always lead the supply cord and extension cord away from the product to the rear while working. This
helps to avoid tripping over the cord while working.
▶ Take frequent breaks and do physical exercises to improve the blood circulation in your fingers. High
vibration during long periods of work can lead to disorders of the blood vessels and nervous system in
the fingers, hands and wrists.
▶ Risk of injury by falling tools and/or accessories. Before starting work, check that installed accessories
are secure.
▶ Wear eye protection, a hard hat and ear protection while the product is in use.
▶ Keep the air vents clear at all times. Risk of burn injuries due to blocked air vents!
▶ Dust produced by grinding, sanding, cutting and drilling can contain dangerous chemicals. Some
examples are: lead or lead-based paints; brick, concrete and other masonry products, natural stone
and other products containing silicates; certain types of wood, such as oak, beech and chemically
treated wood; asbestos or materials that contain asbestos. Determine the exposure of the operator and
bystanders by means of the hazard classification of the materials to be worked. Implement the necessary
measures to restrict exposure to a safe level, for example by the use of a dust collection system or by
the wearing of suitable respiratory protection. The general measures for reducing exposure include:
▶ working in an area that is well ventilated,
▶ avoidance of prolonged contact with dust,
▶ directing dust away from the face and body,
▶ wearing protective clothing and washing exposed areas of the skin with water and soap.
