side. Parts breaking away could fall out and / or
fall down and injure other persons.
m)Always engage 1st gear when mixing. This will
help to avoid splashing or spillage. Wear pro-
tective gloves.
5.2.2 Power tool use and care
en
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) Switch the power tool off and unplug the supply
cord in the event of a power failure or interruption
in the electric supply. Release the switch lock-
button (if applicable). This will prevent accidental
restarting when the electric power returns.
5.2.3 Electrical safety
a) Before beginning work, check the working area
(e.g. using a metal detector) to ensure that no
concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes
are present. External metal parts of the power tool
may become live, for example, when an electric
cable is damaged accidentally. This presents a
serious risk of electric shock.
b) Check the power tool's supply cord at regular
intervals and have it replaced by a qualified
specialist if found to be damaged. Check ex-
tension 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
24
while working. Disconnect the supply cord plug
from the power outlet. Damaged supply cords or
extension cords present a risk of electric shock.
c) Dirty or dusty power tools which have been
used frequently for work on conductive materi-
als should be checked at regular intervals at a
Hilti Service Center. Under unfavorable circum-
stances, dampness or dust adhering to the surface
of the power tool, especially dust from conductive
materials, may present a risk of electric shock.
d) When working outdoors with an electric tool
check to ensure that the tool is connected to the
electric supply by way of a ground fault circuit
interrupter (RCD) with a rating of max. 30 mA
(tripping current). Use of a ground fault circuit
interrupter reduces the risk of electric shock.
e) Use of a ground fault circuit interrupter (RCD
residual current device) with a maximum tripping
current of 30 mA is recommended.
5.2.4 Work area safety
a) Ensure that the workplace is well lit.
b) Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated.
Exposure to dust at a poorly ventilated workplace
may result in damage to the health.
5.2.5 Personal protective equipment
The user and any other persons in the vicinity must
wear suitable eye protection, a hard hat, ear pro-
tection, protective gloves and breathing protection
while the power tool is in use.
