Rubber gloves and anti-slip footwear are recom-
mended when working outdoors.
Tie long hair back in a hair net.
g.
If dust extraction and collection devices can
be mounted, make sure that they are connect-
ed and used properly. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
h.
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles.
A careless action can cause severe injury within a
fraction of a second.
Power tool use and care
a.
Do not overload the device.
Use the correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that can-
not be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
c.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from
the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the power tool accidentally.
d.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
Unused power tools should be stored in a dry, ele-
vated or closed location out of the reach of children.
e.
Maintain power tools and accessories.
Check whether moving parts function properly and
do not get stuck and whether parts are broken or
are damaged and thus adversely affect the electric
tool function. If damaged, have the power tool re-
paired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edg-
es are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool for op-
erations different from those intended could result
in a hazardous situation.

h.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
Service
a.
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
m WARNING! This electric tool generates an elec-
tromagnetic field during operation. This field can im-
pair active or passive medical implants under certain
conditions. In order to prevent the risk of serious or
deadly injuries, we recommend that persons with
medical implants consult with their physician and the
manufacturer of the medical implant prior to operating
the electric tool.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety instructions for working with compressed
air and blasting guns
• The compressor pump and lines can become very
hot during operation. Touching these parts will burn
you.
• The air which is sucked in by the compressor must
be kept free of impurities that could cause fires or
explosions in the compressor pump.
• When releasing the hose coupling, hold the hose
coupling piece with your hand. This way, you can
protect yourself against injury from the rebound-
ing hose.
• Wear safety goggles when working with the blow-
out pistol. Foreign bodies or blown off parts can
easily cause injuries.
• Do not blow at people with the blow-out pistol and
do not clean clothes while being worn. Risk of in-
jury!
Safety instructions when using spraying attach-
ments (e.g. paint sprayers)
• Keep the spray attachment away from the compres-
sor when filling so that no liquid comes into contact
with the compressor.
• Never spray in the direction of the compressor when
using the spraying attachments (e.g. paint sprayers).
Moisture can lead to electrical hazards!
