Some examples are: lead or lead-based paints; brick, concrete and other masonry products, natural stone and other products containing silicates; certain types of wood, such as oak, beech and chemically treated wood; asbestos or materials that contain asbestos. Determine the exposure of the operator and bystanders by means of the hazard classification of the materials to be worked. Implement the necessary measures to restrict exposure to a safe level, for example by the use of a dust collection system or by the wearing of suitable respiratory protection. The general measures for reducing exposure include:
  
• working in an area that is well ventilated,
  
• avoidance of prolonged contact with dust,
  
• directing dust away from the face and body,
  
• wearing protective clothing and washing exposed areas of the skin with water and soap.
  
• Whenever possible, use a Hilti-recommended dust extractor suitable for the application.
  
• Use an anti-static suction hose in order to avoid electrostatic effects.
  
• Make sure that the adapter and the outside surfaces of the tool holder are free of oil and grease. If the TE DRS-B dust removal module is installed with oily and/or greasy parts, the TE DRS-B dust removal module can fall off. Remove oil and grease from the adapter and from the outside surfaces of the tool holder with a cloth.
