User manual BLACK & DECKER KA199

[. . . ] If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. [. . . ] Additional power tool safety warnings Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock u Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control. Contact with or inhalation of dusts arising from sanding applications may endanger the health of the operator and possible bystanders. Wear a dust mask specifically designed for protection against dust and fumes and ensure that persons within or entering the work area are also protected. Take special care when sanding paint which is possibly lead based or when sanding some woods and metal which may produce toxic dust: u Do not let children or pregnant women enter the work area. Additional residual risks may arise when using the tool which may not be included in the enclosed safety warnings. Even with the application of the relevant safety regulations and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks can not be avoided. These include: u Injuries caused by touching any rotating/moving parts. When using any tool for prolonged periods ensure you take regular breaks. U Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when using your tool (example:- working with wood, especially oak, beech and MDF. ) Vibration The declared vibration emission values stated in the technical data and the declaration of conformity have been measured in accordance with a standard test method provided by EN 60745 and may be used for comparing one tool with another. The declared vibration emission value may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure. The vibration emission value during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is used. When assessing vibration exposure to determine safety measures required by 2002/44/EC to protect persons regularly using power tools in employment, an estimation of vibration exposure should consider, the actual conditions of use and the way the tool is used, including taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time. Before assembly, make sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged.
