Specific Safety Rules - Stanley FMC640 FatMAX Instruction Manual

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

• Wear ear protectors with impact drills. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
• Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal
injury.
• 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.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the work piece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
• When not in use, place tool on its side on a stable surface where it will not cause
a tripping or falling hazard. Some tools with large battery packs will stand upright but
may be easily knocked over.
• Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from air vents. Air vents often cover
moving parts in which these items can be caught.
• Hold tool firmly with two hands. Use auxiliary handle if provided. If auxiliary handle
not provided, grip tool at bottom of battery pack. Loss of control can cause personal
injury.
• Wear safety goggles or other eye protection. Hammering and drilling operations
cause chips to fly. Flying particles can cause permanent eye damage.
• Bits, sockets and tools get hot during operation. Wear gloves when touching them.
• Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration caused by tool action
may be harmful to your hands and arms. Use gloves to provide extra cushion and limit
exposure by taking frequent rest periods.
• Wear appropriate personal hearing protection during use. Under some conditions
and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.

• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work
with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash
exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or
lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
