Hilti TEMD20 LS T Operating Instructions Manual page 23

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, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations dif-
ferent from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
5.5 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.
5.6 General safety rules for supporting or securing
devices
WARNING Read all safety rules and instructions sup-
plied with the supporting / securing device or power
tool. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operat-
ed (cordless) power tool.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
G
the battery pack from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Power tools starting inadvertently are
the cause of many accidents.
Set up the supporting or securing device properly
G
before fitting the power tool. Correct assembly is
important in order to avoid risk of collapse.
Mount the power tool securely on the supporting /
G
securing device before use. Movement of the power
tool on the supporting / securing device may lead to
a loss of control.
Set up the supporting / securing device on a solid,
G
even and level surface. The power tool cannot be
guided smoothly and safely if the supporting / secur-
ing device is unsteady or moves out of place.
Do not overload the supporting / securing device and
G
do not use it as a substitute for a ladder or working
platform. Overloading or standing on the supporting
/ securing device may raise its point of balance and
cause it to topple over.

5.7 Safety rules for rotary hammers and breakers
TWear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
G
hearing loss.

G
control can cause personal injury.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
G
performing an operation where the accessory may
contact hidden wiring or the power tool's own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the oper-
ator an electric shock.
