Safety Instructions - Hilti DCH 230 Operating Instructions Manual

NOTE
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a
standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a
preliminary assessment of exposure. The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of
the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained,
the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working
period. An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the
tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the
exposure level over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from
the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of
work patterns.

5. Safety instructions

5.1 General power tool safety warnings
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instruc-
tions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious in-
jury. Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference. The term "power tool" in the warnings
refers to your mains‐operated (corded) power tool or
battery‐operated (cordless) power tool.
5.1.1 Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable

liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while oper-
ating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
5.1.2 Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
