Hilti TE 50 User Manual page 11

▶ 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.
▶ Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
▶ 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.
Service
▶ 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.
2.2 Hammer safety warnings
▶ Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
▶ Use auxiliary handles, if 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.
2.3 Additional safety instructions
Personal safety
▶ Use the product only when it is in technically faultless condition.
▶ Never tamper with or modify the power tool in any way.
▶ Apply appropriate safety measures at the opposite side of the workpiece
in work that involves breaking through. Parts breaking away could fall out
and / or fall down causing injury to other persons.
▶ Always hold the power tool with both hands on the grips provided. Keep
the grips clean and dry.
▶ Always grip the side handle at its outermost end. When drilling and
screwdriving, the grip of the power tool may be deflected laterally (the
power tool tends to pivot about its own axis).
▶ Avoid touching rotating parts – risk of injury!
▶ Wear suitable protective glasses, a hard hat, ear protection, protective
gloves and light respiratory protection while using the power tool.
▶ Wear protective gloves also when changing the accessory tool. Touching
the accessory tool presents a risk of injury (cuts or burns).
