Hilti TE106 Operating Instructions Manual page 25

ive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the
power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
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 operation. 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
maintained 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 and
in the manner intended for the particular type
of power tool, 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.
5.1.5 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.
5.2 Additional safety precautions
5.2.1 Personal safety
a) Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
b) Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
c) 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.
d) Always hold the power tool securely with both
hands on the grips provided. Keep the grips dry,
clean and free from oil and grease.
e) Wear a dust mask.
f) Improve the blood circulation in your fingers by
relaxing your hands and exercising your fingers
during breaks between working.

g) Always lead the supply cord and extension cord
away from the power tool to the rear while
working. This helps to avoid tripping over the cord
while working.
h) Children must be instructed not to play with the
appliance.
i) The appliance is not intended for use by chil-
dren, by debilitated persons or those who have
received no instruction or training.
j) Dust from material such as paint containing lead,
some wood species, minerals and metal may be
harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust
may cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory
diseases to the operator or bystanders. Certain
kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic such
as oak and beech dust especially in conjunction
with additives for wood conditioning (chromate,
wood preservative). Material containing asbestos
must only be treated by specialists. Where the
use of a dust extraction device is possible it
shall be used. To achieve a high level of dust
collection, use a suitable vacuum cleaner of the
type recommended by Hilti for wood dust and/or
mineral dust together with this tool. Ensure that
the workplace is well ventilated. The use of a
dust mask of filter class P2 is recommended.
Follow national requirements for the materials
you want to work with.
5.2.2 Power tool use and care
a) Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice
to secure the workpiece. The workpiece is thus
held more securely than by hand and both hands
remain free to operate the power tool.
b) Check that the insert tools used are compatible
with the chuck system and that they are secured
in the chuck correctly.
c) In the event of a power failure or interruption
in the electric supply, switch the power tool off,
unplug the supply cord and release the switch
lockbutton (if applicable). This will prevent acci-
dental restarting when the electric power returns.
