Follow all special requirements on packaging and labelling
when transporting batteries by a third party. Ensure that
no batteries can come in contact with other batteries
or conductive materials while in transport by protecting
exposed connectors with insulating, non-conductive caps
or tape. Do not transport batteries that are cracked or
leaking. Check with the forwarding company for further
advice.
RESIDUAL RISKS
Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still
impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk
factors. The following hazards may arise in use and the
operator should pay special attention to avoid the following:
Injury caused by kickback
–
Read and understand the information in this
manual.
Injury caused by vibration
–
Limit exposure. See "Risk Reduction".
Injury caused by dust
–
Always wear eye protection. Wear appropriate dust
control mask with suitable filters that can protect
against dust from the material being worked on. Do
not eat, drink or smoke in the work area. Ensure
adequate workplace ventilation.
Electric shock
–
The blade may contact hidden wiring, causing
parts of the product to become live. Always hold
the product by the designated handles and take
care when blind-cutting into walls and floors where
cables may be hidden.
NOTE: When working in walls, ceilings or floors, take
care to avoid electric cables and gas or water pipes.
Injury from contact with the cutting blade
–
The blades are very sharp and will become hot
during use. Wear gloves when changing blades.
Keep hands away from the cutting area at all times.
Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across
your leg. Clamp the workpiece whenever possible.
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from handheld tools
may contribute to a condition called Raynaud's Syndrome
in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling,
numbness and blanching of the fingers, usually apparent
upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to
cold and dampness, diet, smoking and work practices
are all thought to contribute to the development of these
symptoms. These are measures that can be taken by
operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating
the unit wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists
warm. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor
contributing to Raynaud's Syndrome.
After each period of operation, exercise to increase
blood circulation.
Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of
exposure per day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition,
immediately discontinue use and see your doctor about
these symptoms.
WARNING
Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by prolonged
use of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods,
ensure you take regular breaks.
