Residual Risks; Electrical Safety - DeWalt D25832 Original Instructions Manual

EnGLIsH
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 different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h ) 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.
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.
Additional Safety Instructions for Chipping
Hammers
• Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
Use auxiliary handle supplied with the tool. Loss of
•
control can cause personal injury.
• Hold 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.
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support
•
the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by
hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss
of control.
Wear safety goggles or other eye protection. Hammering
•
operations cause chips to fly. Flying particles can cause
permanent eye damage. Wear a dust mask or respirator
for applications that generate dust. Ear protection may be
required for most applications.
• Keep a firm grip on the tool at all times. Do not attempt
to operate this tool without holding it with both hands. It
is recommended that the side handle be used at all times.
Operating this tool with one hand will result in loss of control.
Breaking through or encountering hard materials such as
re-bar may be hazardous as well. Tighten the side handle
securely before use.
Do not operate this tool for long periods of time.
•
Vibration caused by hammer action may be harmful to your
hands and arms. Use gloves to provide extra cushion and limit
exposure by taking frequent rest periods.
• Do not recondition bits yourself. Chisel reconditioning
should be done by an authorized specialist. Improperly
reconditioned chisels could cause injury.
Wear gloves when operating tool or changing bits.
•
Accessible metal parts on the tool and bits may get extremely
hot during operation. Small bits of broken material may
damage bare hands.
Never lay the tool down until the bit has come to a
•
complete stop. Moving bits could cause injury.
18
• Do not strike jammed bits with a hammer to dislodge
them. Fragments of metal or material chips could dislodge
and cause injury.
• Slightly worn chisels can be resharpened by grinding.
Keep the power cord away from the bit. Do not wrap the
•
cord around any part of your body. An electric cord wrapped
around a spinning bit may cause personal injury and loss
of control.

WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current
device with a residual current rating of 30mA or less.

Residual Risks

In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks
cannot be avoided. These are:
• Impairment of hearing.
• Risk of personal injury due to flying particles.
• Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot
during operation.
• Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.
