Hilti TE 3000-AVR Manual page 21

▶ Take breaks between working and do physical exercises to improve the blood circulation in your fingers.
Exposure to vibration during long periods of work can lead to disorders of the blood vessels and nervous
system in the fingers, hands and wrists.
▶ The tool is not intended for use by debilitated persons who have received no special training.
▶ Keep the power tool out of reach of children.
▶ Before beginning the work, check the hazard classification of the dust that will be produced. Use an
industrial vacuum cleaner with an officially approved protection classification in compliance with locally
applicable dust protection regulations.
▶ Use a dust removal system and suitable vacuum cleaner whenever possible. Dust from materials, such
as paint containing lead, some wood species, concrete/masonry/stone containing silica, and minerals as
well as metal, may be harmful.
▶ Make sure that the workplace is well ventilated and, where necessary, wear a respirator appropriate for
the type of dust generated. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic reactions and/or
respiratory or other 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 may be handled only by specialists.
Electrical safety
▶ Before beginning work, check the working area for concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes.
You may receive an electric shock from external metal parts of the power tool if you damage an electric
cable accidentally.
▶ Check the power tool's supply cord at regular intervals and have it replaced by a qualified specialist if
found to be damaged. If the power tool's supply cord is damaged it must be replaced with a specially-
prepared and approved supply cord available from Hilti Customer Service. Check extension cords at
regular intervals and replace them if found to be damaged. Do not touch the supply cord or extension
cord if it is damaged while working. Disconnect the supply cord plug from the power outlet. Damaged
supply cords or extension cords present a risk of electric shock.
▶ Dirty or dusty power tools that have been used frequently for work on conductive materials should be
checked at regular intervals at a Hilti Service Center. Dust (especially dust from conductive materials) or
dampness adhering to the surface of the tool may, under unfavorable conditions, lead to electric shock.
▶ Switch the power tool off and unplug the supply cord in the event of a power failure or interruption in the
electric supply. This will prevent accidental restarting when the electric power returns.
