all instructions. Failure to fol-

General safety rules.

1) Workplace
a) Keep work area clean and tidy. Clut-
tered or dark work areas invite acci-
dents.
b) Do not operate the power tool in explo-
sive atmospheres, such as in the pres-
ence of flammable liquids, gases or
dusts. Power tools create sparks which
can ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away
while operating the vacuum cleaner.
Distractions can cause you to lose con-
trol over the device.
2) Electrical safety
a) The mains plug of the device must
match the socket outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use adapter
plugs with protective grounded devices.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with grounded sur-
faces, such as from pipes, heaters,
stoves/ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock
when your body has contact to
grounded surfaces.
c) Keep the device away from rain or mois-
ture. The penetration of water into an
electrical device increases the risk of an
electric shock.
Only carry out such operations with this vac-
uum cleaner as intended for by FEIN. Only
use application tools and accessories that have
been released by FEIN.
Please also observe the relevant national
industrial safety regulations.
Non-observance of the safety instructions in
the said documentation can lead to an electric
shock, burns and/or severe injuries.
This Instruction Manual should be kept for
later use and enclosed with the power tool,
should it be passed on or sold.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
d) Do not misuse the cord to carry the
device, hang it up, or for pulling the plug
out of the outlet. Keep the cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating the vacuum cleaner
outdoors, only use extension cords suit-
able for outdoor use. Use of a cord suit-
able for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
f) When operating the vacuum cleaner in
damp environments is unavoidable, use
a ground-fault circuit interrupter. The
use of a ground-fault circuit interrupter
reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing,
and use common sense when operating
a vacuum cleaner. Do not use the device
while tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating
the device may result in personal injury.
b) Prevent unintentional starting. Make
sure that the switch is in the "OFF" posi-
tion before plugging the plug into the
socket outlet. When your finger is on
the switch while carrying the device or
when connecting the device to the
power supply while it is switched on,
accidents can occur.
