4 English
▶ 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.
▶ 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.
Electrical safety
▶ Before beginning work, check the working area for concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes.
External metal parts of the power tool may become live, presenting a risk of electric shock, if you damage
an electric cable accidentally.
Careful handling and use of power tools
▶ Switch the power tool off if the accessory tool sticks and stalls. The power tool may be deflected laterally.
▶ Wait until the power tool stops completely before you lay it down.
