SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions

listed below, may result in electric shock, ﬁre and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

1. WORK AREA

a) Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite ac-

cidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence

of ﬂammable liquids, gases or dusts. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the

dust or fumes.

c) Keep by-standers, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Dis-

tractions can cause you to lose control.

2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY

a) A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must

be recharged only with the speciﬁed charger for the battery. A charger that may be

suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of ﬁre when used with another battery.

b) Use battery operated tool only with speciﬁcally designated battery pack. Use of

any other batteries may create a risk of ﬁre.

3. PERSONAL SAFETY

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a

power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the inﬂuence of drugs, alcohol,

or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in seri-

ous personal injury.

b) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep

your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or

long hair can be caught in moving parts. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and

grease. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors.

c) Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or “OFF” position be-

fore inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with your ﬁnger on the switch or inserting

the battery pack into a tool with the switch “ON” invites accidents.

d) Remove all adjusting keys and wrenches. Make a habit of checking that adjusting

keys, wrenches, etc. are removed from the tool before turning it “ON”.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and

balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

f) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety

shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection may be used for appropriate conditions.

g) Keep hands away from all cutting edges and moving parts.

h) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection

facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can

reduce dust-related hazards.

4. TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the work-piece to a

stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead

to loss of control.

b) Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will

0302

NA-WT150-M-050727.indd 2 2005-7-27 17:52:54

Cordless Drill/Drivers WT150

do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed. Excessive force only causes

operator fatigue, increased wear and reduced control.

c) Do not use tool if switch does not turn it “ON” or “OFF”. A tool that cannot be

controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

d) Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the “LOCKED” or “OFF”

position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the

tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

e) Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

f) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: pa-

per clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make

a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together

may cause sparks, burns, or a ﬁre.

g) Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained

tools, with sharp cutting edges, are less likely to bind and easier to control.

h) Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any

other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool ser-

viced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

i) Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your mod-

el. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used on

another tool.

j) Use the right tool. Do not force the tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not

designed.

5. SERVICE

a) Tool service must be performed only by qualiﬁed repair personnel. Service or

maintenance performed by unqualiﬁed personnel could result in a risk of injury.

b) When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions

in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to

follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES - FOR CORDLESS DRILLS

WARNING! Failure to follow these rules may result in serious personal injury.

1) Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the

cutting tools may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will

make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.

2) Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.

3) Wear ear protectors with impact (hammer) drills. Exposure to noise can cause hearing

loss.

4) Be aware that this tool is always in an operating condition because it does not have

to be plugged into an electrical outlet.

5) Always hold the tool with both hands. If the bit jams, two hands will give you maximum

control over torque reaction or kickback.

6) Disconnect battery pack from the tool or place switch in the “LOCKED” or “OFF”

position before making any assembly, adjustments or changing accessories. Such

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

7) Secure material before cutting. Never hold it in your hand or across your legs.

8) Always wear eye protectors when using tool. Use a dust mask or respirator for ap-

0302

NA-WT150-M-050727.indd 3 2005-7-27 17:52:55

Cordless Drill/Drivers WT150

plications which generate dust.

9) Always check walls and ceiling to avoid hidden power cables and pipes.

10) Use clamps or a vise to hold work-piece whenever possible.

11) Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who may

use this tool. If someone borrows this tool, make sure they have these instructions.

WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and

other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth

defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemical are:

• Lead from lead-based paint

• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber

Your risk to these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce

your exposure to these chemicals:

• Work in a well ventilated area

• Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are speciﬁcally designed

to ﬁlter out microscopic particles.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: Before using the tool, read the instruction

book carefully.

1. BEFORE USING YOUR CORDLESS DRILL

Your battery pack is UNCHARGED and you must

charge once before use. Your battery pack will not be

fully charged until you have performed several charge

and discharge operations by charging & working with

your drill. After this your battery pack performance will

improve.

Warning: The charger and battery pack are specif-

ically designed to work together so do not attempt

to use any other devices. Never insert or allow metallic

objects into your charger or battery pack connections be-

cause an electrical failure and hazard will occur.

2. HOW TO CHARGE YOUR BATTERY PACK (See

Fig 1)

1) Connect the battery charger to the power supply. The

red light will illuminate for 3 seconds and then it will go

out.

Note: If the red light ﬂashes at a rapid rate (approx. 5

ﬂashes per second), this means that the charger has

failed and must be replaced.

2) Fully insert the battery pack into the charger. With

a normal charging process, only the red light will illu-

minate to show charging has started. The red light will

remain on during the charging process. A discharged

battery at normal ambient temperature will take approx-

imately 1 hour to reach full charge.

Note: If the battery temperature is lower than 36ºF (0ºC),

the green light will ﬂash slowly (approximately 2 ﬂashes

per second). Remove the battery and allow the battery

to warm-up to a charging temperature between 36ºF to

95ºF (2ºC and 35ºC).

If the battery temperature is over 140ºF (60ºC), the green

light will ﬂash rapidly (approximately 5 ﬂashes per sec-

ond). Remove the battery and allow the battery to cool-

down to a charging temperature between 36ºF to 95ºF

(2ºC and 35ºC).

If the battery temperature is over 176ºF (80ºC), the charg-

ing process will be stopped, and the red light will ﬂash

with a low speed (approximately 2 ﬂashes per second).

The battery must be replaced.

3) When the charging is complete, only the green light

will illuminate.

Note: When the battery is under charging and its volt-

age cannot reach 4V in 2 minutes, we consider the bat-

0908

Fig 1

NA-WT150-M-050727.indd 8 2005-7-27 17:52:59

Cordless Drill/Drivers WT150

tery to be “dead”, and the red light will ﬂash with a low

speed (approximately 2 ﬂashes per second). Remove the

“dead” battery from the charger and replace with a new

battery.

4) When the charging process is ﬁnished, the battery is

still charging with a current 50mA.

Note: The charger timer-circuit and battery pack temper-

ature safety-cutout device prevents overcharging of the

battery pack. However, it is recommended to remove the

battery from the charger when the charging cycle has

been completed as indicated by the illumination of the

green light.

Warning: After extended periods of use, the

battery will become hot. Allow the hot bat-

tery to cool down for at least 1 hour before re-

charging.

3. TO REMOVE OR INSTALL BATTERY PACK

Locate latches on side of battery pack and depress both

sides to release battery pack from your drill. Remove

battery pack from your drill (See Fig 2). After recharge

insert the battery pack into drill’s battery port. A simple

push and slight pressure will be sufﬁcient.

4. ON/OFF SWITCH WITH BRAKE FUNCTION

Depress to start and release to stop your drill (See Fig

3). The on/off switch is ﬁtted with a brake function which

stops your chuck immediately when you quickly release

the switch.

5. SWITCH LOCK

The switch trigger can be locked in the OFF position.

This helps to reduce the possibility of accidental start-

ing when not in use. To lock the switch trigger, place the

direction of rotation selector (2) in the center position

(See Fig 3) by pushing the direction buttons on either

side of the drill.

NA-WT150-M-050727.indd 9 2005-7-27 17:53:00

Cordless Drill/Drivers WT150

6. REVERSIBLE

The direction selector (2) located above the switch trigger

controls the direction of rotation. With the drill held in nor-

mal operating position, the direction of rotation selector

should be positioned to the right of the switch for drill-

ing. The rotation direction is reversed when the selector

is positioned to the left. When the selector is in the center

position, the trigger switch is locked (See Fig 3).

Warning: Never change the direction of ro-

tation when the chuck is rotating, wait until

it has stopped.

7. VARIABLE SPEED

This tool has a variable speed switch that delivers higher

speed and higher torque with increased trigger pres-

sure. Speed is controlled by the amount of switch trig-

ger depression.

Warning: Do not operate for long periods at

low speed because excess heat will be pro-

duced internally.

8. TWO-SPEED GEAR TRAIN

The drill has a two-speed gear train designed for drilling

or driving at LO (mark is 1) or HI (mark is 2) speeds. A

slide switch is located on top of the drill to select either

LO or HI speed (See Fig 4). When using the drill in the LO

speed range, the speed will decrease and the drill will

have greater power and torque. When using the drill in

the HI speed range, the speed will increase and the drill

will have less power and torque.

Warning: To prevent gear damage, always al-

low the chuck to come to a complete stop

before changing the direction of rotation or the

two-speed gear train.

9. CHUCK ADJUSTMENT.

Adjusting the chuck on your cordless drill is easy as it

comes ﬁtted with a spindle lock. To open the chuck jaws

rotate the front section of the chuck. Insert the drill bit

between the chuck jaws and rotate the front section in

the opposite direction. Ensure the drill bit is in the center

of the chuck jaws. Finally, ﬁrmly rotate the front chuck

section in the opposite directions. Your drill bit is now

clamped in the chuck.

10. TORQUE ADJUSTMENT

(Screw driving force of your drill driver)

The torque is adjusted by rotating the torque adjustment

ring (See Fig 5). The torque is greater when the torque

adjustment ring is set on a higher setting. The torque is

1110

Fig 3

Fig 4

NA-WT150-M-050727.indd 10 2005-7-27 17:53:02

Cordless Drill/Drivers WT150

less when the torque adjustment ring is set on a lower

setting. Rotate the adjustment ring to the desired set-

ting:

11. BIT STORAGE

The bits provided with the drill can be placed in the stor-

age area located at the side of the drill, and slide in and

out (See Fig 6).

12. LEVEL DRILLING

The level indicator (12) is recessed in the motor hous-

ing on the top of the drill-driver. It can be used to keep

the drill level during horizontal drilling operation (See

Fig 7).

13. DRILLING

When drilling hard smooth surfaces, use a center punch

to mark the desired hole location. This will prevent the

drill bit from slipping off center as the hole is started.

Hold the tool ﬁ rmly and place the tip of the bit at the

point to be drilled. Depress the switch trigger to start the

tool. Move the drill bit into the work-piece, applying only

enough pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not force or

apply side pressure to elongate a hole.

Warning: Tungsten carbide drill bits should

always be used for concrete and masonry.

When drilling in metal, only use HSS drill bits in

good condition. Always use a magnetic bit holder

when using short screwdriver bits. When screw-

driving, apply a small quantity of liquid soap or

similar to the screw threads to ease insertion.

14. AUTOMATIC SPINDLE LOCK

The automatic spindle lock allows you to use as a regu-

lar screwdriver. You can give an extra twist to ﬁ rmly

tighten a screw, loosen a very tight screw or continue

working when the battery energy has expired (See Fig

8). For manual screwdriver purposes, the chuck is auto-

matically locked when the tool is off.

15. DISPOSAL OF AN EXHAUSTED BATTERY PACK

To preserve natural resources, please recycle or

dispose of the battery pack properly. This battery

pack contains nickel-cadmium batteries. Consult your lo-

cal waste authority for information regarding available

recycling and/or disposal options. Discharge your bat-

tery pack by operating your drill, then remove the bat-

tery pack from the drill housing and cover the battery

pack connections with heavy duty adhesive tape to pre-

vent short circuit and energy discharge. Do not attempt

to open or remove any of the components.

WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR DRILL

1. WHY DOES THE DRILL NOT TURN ON WHEN

YOU PRESS THE SWITCH?

The forward and reverse switch, which is on top of the

trigger, is positioned in the lock function. Unlock the for-

ward and reverse switch putting it into the required rota-

tion position. Push the trigger and the drill will start to

rotate (See Fig 3).

2. THE DRILL ROTATES SLOWLY. WHY?

Verify the battery is fully charged by pressing the battery

test button. If the battery is not fully charged, recharge

the battery with the supplied battery charger (Note: Do

not charge the battery with a different charger. Charge

battery pack only with the charger provided).

3. THE DRILL STOPS BEFORE THE SCREW IS COM-

PLETELY TIGHTENED. WHY?

Verify the torque position of the torque adjusting ring,

you can ﬁnd the torque adjusting ring between the chuck

and the drill body. Position 1 is the lowest torque (screw

driving force) and position 23 is the highest torque

(screw driving force). Position 24 is for drill operation.

Regulate the torque adjusting ring to a higher position

to reach the best result (See Fig 5).

4. I CANNOT FIT THE BATTERY INTO THE BAT-

TERY CHARGER. WHY?

The battery can be inserted into the charger only in one

direction. Turn the battery around until it can be inserted

into the slot, the red LED light should turn on when the

battery is charging (See Fig 1).

5. REASONS FOR DIFFERENT CHARGING TIMES.

Your charge time can be affected by many reasons, which

are not defects in your product. If the battery pack is only

partly discharged it may be re-charged in less than 1

1312

NA-WT150-M-050727.indd 12 2005-7-27 17:53:09

Cordless Drill/Drivers WT150

hour. If the battery pack and ambient temperature are

very cold then re-charging may take 1 to 1-1/2 hours. If

the battery pack is very hot it will not re-charge because

the internal temperature safety cutout will prevent it. If

the battery pack is very hot you must remove your bat-

tery pack from the charger and allow your battery pack

to cool ﬁrst to ambient temperature and then recharging

can be started. If you charge a second battery pack im-

mediately after the ﬁrst then the charger can be over-

heated. Always allow at least 15 minutes rest between

battery pack charging.

6. REASONS FOR DIFFERENT BATTERY PACK

WORKING TIMES.

Charging time issues, as above, and having not used a

battery pack for a prolonged time will reduce the work-

ing life of the battery pack. This can be corrected after

several charge and discharge operations by charging &

working with your drill. Heavy working conditions such

as large screws into hard wood will use up the battery

pack energy faster than lighter working conditions. Do

not re-charge your battery pack below 32oF (0oC) and

above 86oF (30oC) as this will affect performance.

MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE

Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer perfor-

mance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing

accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if dam-

aged, have repaired by authorized service facility.

Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or

maintenance. There are no user serviceable parts in

your power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners

to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth.

Always store your power tool in a dry place. Keep the

motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls

free of dust. If you see some sparks ﬂashing in the ven-

tilation slots, this is normal and will not damage your

power tool.

drogues, d’alcool ou de médicaments. Un instant d’inattention lors de l’utilisation

d’outils électriques peut entraîner des blessures graves.

b) Habillez-vous convenablement. Ne portez ni vêtements ﬂottants ni bijoux. Con-

ﬁnez les cheveux longs. Gardez les cheveux, les vêtements et les gants éloignés des

pièces en mouvement. Les vêtements ﬂottants, les bijoux ou les cheveux longs risquent

d’être happés par des pièces en mouvement. Gardez les poignées sèches, propres et ex-

emptes d’huile et de graisse. Le port de gants en caoutchouc et de chaussures à semelle

antidérapante est recommandé si vous travaillez à l’extérieur.

c) Évitez les démarrages accidentels. Avant d’insérer la pile dans l’outil, assurez-

vous que sa détente est á la position “OFF” (Arrêt) ou verrouillée. Le fait de trans-

porter un outil avec le doigt sur la détente/l’interrupteur ou d’insérer la batterie dans un

outil dont la détente est á la position << ON >> (Marche) peut causer un accident.

d) Retirez les clés de réglage. Prenez l’habitude de vériﬁer si les clés de réglage et autres

outils sont retirés de l’outil avant de le mettre en marche.

e) Ne vous penchez pas trop en avant. Maintenez un bon appui et restez en équili-

bre en tout temps. Une bonne stabilité vous permet de mieux réagir à une situation

inattendue.

f) Utilisez des accessoires de sécurité. Portez toujours une protection oculaire.

Selon les conditions, portez aussi un masque antipoussière, des bottes de sécurité anti-

dérapantes, un casque protecteur et une protection antibruit.

g) Tenez les mains à l’écart des arrêtes tranchantes et des pièces en mouvement.

h) Si un sac de récupération de poussière et port pour aspirateur est fourni, as-

surez vous qu’il est correctement relié et utilisé de façon appropriée. L’utilisation

de ce système réduit les dangers physiques et physiologiques liés à la poussière.

4. UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN DE L’OUTIL

a) Immobilisez le matériau travaillé sur une surface stable au moyen de serre-joints

ou de toute autre façon adéquate. Le fait de tenir la pièce avec la main ou contre

votre corps n’offre pas une stabilité insufﬁsante et peut entraîner une perte de contrôle de

l’outil.

b) Ne forcez pas l’outil. Utilisez l’outil approprié à la tâche. L’outil approprié fonc-

tionne mieux et de façon plus sécuritaire. Respectez aussi la vitesse de travail qui lui est

propre. Un usage excessif, en plus de fatiguer l’utilisateur, augmentera l’usure de l’outil et

rendra son maniement plus difﬁcile.

c) N’utilisez pas un outil si l’interrupteur ne le met pas en marche ou ne peut

l’arrêter. Un outil qui ne peut être contrôlé par l’interrupteur est dangereux et doit être

réparé.

d) Débranchez le bloc-pile de l’outil ou mettez son commutateur en position << OFF

>> (Arrêt) ou <<LOCKED>> (Verrouillé) avant d’effectuer un réglage, de changer

d’accessoire ou de ranger l’outil. De telles mesures de sécurité préventive réduisent

le risque de démarrage accidentel de l’outil.

e) Rangez les outils hors de la portée des enfants et d’autres personnes inexpéri-

mentées. Les outils sont dangereux dans les mains d’utilisateurs novices.

f) Lorsque le bloc-pile n’est pas en usage, tenez-le à l’écart d’autres objets métal-

liques tels que trombones, pièces de monnaie, clés, clous, vis ou autres petits

objets métalliques susceptibles d’établir une connexion d’une borne à une au-

tre. Le court-circuitage des bornes de batterie peut causer des étincelles, des brûlures, une

explosion ou un incendie.

g) Prenez soin de bien entretenir les outils. Les outils de coupe doivent être tou-

jours bien affûtés et propres. Des outils bien entretenus, dont les arrêtes sont bien

tranchantes, sont moins susceptibles de se coincer et plus faciles à contrôler.

h) Soyez attentif à tout désalignement ou coincement des pièces en mouvement,

à tout bris ou à toute autre condition préjudiciable au bon fonctionnement de

l’outil. Si vous constatez qu’un outil est endommagé, faites-le réparer avant de

vous en servir. De nombreux accidents sont causés par des outils en mauvais état.

i) Utilisez seulement les accessoires recommandés par le fabricant de votre

modèle. Certains accessoires peuvent convenir à un outil, mais être dangereux avec un

autre.

j) Utilisez l’outil approprié à la tâche à accomplir. Ne forcez pas l’outil ni l’accessoire en

tentant d’effectuer une tâche pour laquelle ils n’ont pas été conçus.

5. ENTRETIEN

a) L’entretien ou la réparation de l’outil doit être réalisé seulement par du person-

nel qualiﬁé. L’entretien ou la réparation d’un outil électrique, effectués par un amateur,

peuvent avoir des conséquences graves.

b) Pour l’entretien d’un outil, n’employez que des pièces de rechange identiques.

Suivez les directives fournies dans la section <<Entretien>> du présent manuel.

L’emploi de pièces non autorisées ou le non-respect des instructions d’entretien peut créer

un risque de choc électrique ou de blessures.

RÉGLES DE SÉCURITÉ SUPPLÉMENTAIRES - POUR

PERCEUSES/TOURNEVIS SANS CORDON

AVERTISSEMENT! La non observance de ces règles peut conduire à des bles-

sures graves.

1) Lors de l’exécution d’une opération au cours de laquelle l’outil de coupe peut

venir en contact avec les ﬁls cachés ou son propre cordon, tenez l’outil par ses

surfaces isolées de préhension. Le contact avec un ﬁl sous tension rendra les pièces

métalliques exposées de l’outil sous tension et causera des chocs à l’opérateur.

2) Utiliser les poignées auxiliaires fournies avec l’outil. Une perte de contrôle peut pro-

voquer des blessures.

3) Porter des protège-oreilles avec un marteau perforateur. Une exposition au bruit peut

provoquer une perte auditive.

4) Rappelez vous que cet outil est toujours en état de fonctionnement possible parce

qu’il ne doit pas être branché dans une prise de courant.

5) Tenez toujours l’outil à deux mains. Si le foret venait à se coincer, vous serez plus à

même de maîtriser le couple de réaction ou le rebond de l’outil.

6) Sortez le bloc pile de l’outil ou placez son commutateur en position << OFF >> (Ar-

rêt) ou <<LOCKED>> (Verrouillé) avant d’y faire un travail quelconque, d’effectuer

un réglage ou de changer d’accessoire. Une telle mesure de sécurité préventive prévi-

endra le démarrage accidentel de l’outil.

7) Il importe de bien assujettir la pièce sur laquelle vous travaillez. Ne la tenez jamais

dans votre main ou sur vos jambes.

8) Portez toujours des lunettes à coques latérales ou des lunettes de protection en

utilisant cet outil. Utilisez un respirateur ou un masque anti-poussières pour les

applications produisant de la poussière.

9) Inspectez toujours les murs et plafonds pour éviter les câbles électriques ou tuy-

aux cachés.

10) À chaque fois que c’est possible, utilisez un étrier ou un étau pour tenir la pièce à

travailler.

11) Conservez ces instructions. Reportez-vous y fréquemment et utilisez-les pour in-

former d’autres personnes qui pourraient utiliser cet outil. Si une autre personne

utilise cet outil, assurez-vous de lui fournir ces instructions.

AVERTISSEMENT! Les travaux à la machine tel que ponçage, sciage, meulage,

perçage et autres travaux du bâtiment peuvent créer des poussières contenant

des produits chimiques qui sont des causes reconnues de cancer, de malformation

congénitale ou d’autres problèmes reproductifs. Some examples of these chemical are:

• Ces produits chimiques sont, par exemple:

• Le plomb provenant des peintures á base de plomb

• Les cristaux de silices provenant des briques, du ciment et d’autres produits de maçonnerie

• L’arsenic et le chrome provenant des bois traités chimiquement

Le niveau de risque dû à cette exposition varie avec la fréquence de ces types de travaux. Pour

réduire l’exposition à ces produits chimiques, il faut travailler dans un lieu bien ventilé et porter un

équipement de sécurité approprié tel que certains masques à poussière conçus spécialement pour

ﬁltrer les particules microscopiques.
