▶
Before beginning the work, check the hazard classification of the dust that will be produced. Use
an industrial vacuum cleaner with an officially approved protection classification in compliance with
locally applicable dust protection regulations.
▶
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 give you an electric shock if you damage an
electric cable accidentally.
Careful handling and use of electric tools
▶
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped in a vice or secured by some other clamping device
is more secure than when held only by hand.
Special safety instructions for jig saws
▶
Always guide the product away from your body when working with it.
▶
Never position your hands ahead of or on the saw blade.
▶
Never cut into unknown materials and keep the line of cut above and below the workpiece free of
obstacles.
▶
Never reach or grip below the workpiece while cutting.
