General Safety Warnings; Residual Risks - Black & Decker BDSG500 Original Instructions Manual

Manual. Learn the tool's applications and
limitations, as well as the specifi c potential
hazards related to this tool.
► Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock, fi re, or serious injury.
► Always wear eye protection. Any power tool
can throw foreign objects into your eyes and
cause permanent eye damage. ALWAYS wear
safety goggles (not glasses) that comply with
ANSI safety standard Z87.1. Everyday glasses
have only impact resistant lenses. They ARE
NOT safety glasses
Warning! Glasses or goggles not in compliance
with ANSI Z87.1 could cause serious injury when
they break.
► Never use the drywall screwdriver to drive
screws other than drywall screws. The drywall
screwdriver and the screwdriver bits are
designed specifi cally for driving drywall screws.
► Only use screwdriver bits that are designed for
use with this tool.
► Always keep hands out of the path of the
drywall screw.
► Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects
in the part of the workpiece to be cut or
sanded.
► To avoid injury from accidental starting, always
remove the plug from the power source before
installing or removing a screwdriver bit or when
adjusting the depth control.
► Always check the wall area where screws
will be driven to be sure there are no hidden
electrical wires in the area.

plugging the tool into the power source, make
sure the lock-on button is OFF.

GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS

Warning! Wear a dust mask that is designed
to be used when operating a power tool in
a dusty environment.
Warning! Dust that is created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities may contain chemicals that are known
to cause cancer, birth defects, or other genetic
abnormalities. These chemicals include:
► Lead from lead-based paints
► Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and
other masonry products
► Arsenic and chromium from chemically treate
lumber
The level of risk from exposure to these chemicals
varies, according to how often this type of work is
performed. In order to reduce exposure to these
chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and use
approved safety equipment, such as a dust mask
that is specifi cally designed to fi lter out microscopic
particles.

Residual risks.

Additional residual risks may arise when using the
tool which may not be included in the enclosed
safety warnings. These risks can arise from
misuse, prolonged use etc.
Even with the application of the relevant safety
regulations and the implementation of safety
devices, certain residual risks can not be avoided.
These include:
► Injuries caused by touching any rotating/
moving parts.
► Injuries caused when changing any parts,
blades or ac cessories.
► Injuries caused by prolonged use of a tool.
When using any tool for prolonged periods
ensure you take regular breaks.
► Impairment of hearing.
► Health hazards caused by breathing dust
developed when using your tool (example:-
working with wood, especially oak, beech and
MDF.)
Vibration
The declared vibration emission values stated in
the technical data and the declaration of conformity
have been measured in accordance with a
standard test method provided by EN 60745 and
may be used for comparing one tool with another.
The declared vibration emission value may also be
used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
Warning! The vibration emission value during
actual use of the power tool can differ from the
declared value depending on the ways in which
the tool is used. The vibration level may increase
above the level stated.
When assessing vibration exposure to determine
safety measures required by 2002/44/EC to
protect persons regularly using power tools in
employment, an estimation of vibration exposure
should consider, the actual conditions of use and
the way the tool is used, including taking account
of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times
when the tool is switched off and when it is running
idle in addition to the trigger time.
