Residual Risks - Black & Decker KX1650 Instructions Manual

ENGLISH
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tools
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, 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. 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.

(Original instructions)
Ensure adequate ventilation during use as toxic fumes
u
may be produced.
Do not use the appliance in a damp atmosphere.
u
When stripping paint, ensure that the work area is
u
enclosed. Wear a dust mask specifically designed for
protection against lead paint dust and fumes and ensure
that persons within or entering the work area are also
protected.
Do not burn paint, as it could cause a fire hazard.
u
Do not allow paint to adhere to the nozzle as it could ignite
u
after some time.
Switch off the appliance and allow it to cool before fitting
u
any accessory.
Stripping lead-based paint
Extreme care should be taken when stripping paint. The
u
peelings, residue and vapours of paint may contain lead,
which is poisonous. Any pre-1960 building may in the
past have been painted with paint containing lead. This
paint may be covered with additional layers of paint. Once
deposited on surfaces, hand to mouth contact can result in
the ingestion of lead.
Exposures to even low levels of lead can cause irrevers-
u
ible brain and nervous system damage. The greatest
danger of lead poisoning is to children and pregnant
women.
Before starting work, it is important to determine whether
u
the paint to be stripped contains lead. This can be done
using a test kit or by a professional decorator. Do not
smoke, eat or drink in a work area that could or may be
contaminated by lead. Lead based paints should only be
removed by a professional and should not be removed
using a heat gun.
Safety of others
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (includ-
u
ing children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concern-
ing use of the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
u
play with the appliance.
