SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

Keep the work area clean and well lit. Dark and cluttered work areas increase the risk of accidents and injuries.
Do not use power tools in explosive environments, such as in the vicinity of flammable liquids, gas or dust. Power tools produce sparks that can ignite dust and fumes.
Keep children and onlookers at a safe distance when using power tools. You can lose control of the tool if you are distracted.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

The plug on the power tool must match the power point. Never modify the plug in any way. Never use an adapter with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets reduce the risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.
Do not expose power tools to rain or moisture. There is a greater risk of electric shock if water gets into a power tool.
Be careful with the power cord. Never use the power cord to carry or pull the tool, or to pull out the plug from the power point. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or tangled power cords increase the risk of electric shock.
If using the tool outdoors, only use an extension cord approved for outdoor use. Cords intended for outdoor use reduce the risk of electric shock.
If it is absolutely necessary to use power tools in damp conditions, use a mains connection protected by a residual current device (RDC). Using an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

Stay alert. Pay attention to what you are doing, and use your common sense when working with power tools. Never use power tools if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention when using a power tool can result in serious personal injury.
Use personal safety equipment. Depending on the type of tool and how it is used, safety equipment such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmets and ear protection reduce the risk of personal injury.
Avoid accidental starting. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position before inserting the battery or lifting/carrying the tool.
Carrying a power tool with your finger on the switch, or connecting a tool to the mains when the switch is in the ON position, increases the risk of accidents and injuries.
Remove adjuster keys/spanners before switching on the power tool. Spanners or the like that are left in a rotating part of the tool can cause personal injury.
Do not overreach. Always maintain a firm footing and good balance. This ensures better control over the power tool in unexpected situations.
Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose-fitting clothing, jewellery and long hair can get caught in moving parts.
If dust extraction and dust collection equipment is available, this should be connected and used correctly. The use of such devices can reduce the risk of dust-related problems.

USING AND LOOKING AFTER POWER TOOLS

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for the planned work. The tool does the job better and safer when used at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the tool if it cannot be switched on and off with the power switch. Power tools that cannot be controlled with the power switch are dangerous and must be repaired.
Pull out the plug and/or remove the battery before making any adjustments, changing accessories or putting the power tool away.
These safety precautions reduce the risk of accidently starting the power tool.
Store power tools out of the reach of children when not in use. Never allow children, or anyone who is unfamiliar with the power tool and these instructions, to use the tool. Power tools are dangerous if used by inexperienced persons.
Keep the power tool properly maintained. Check that moving parts are properly adjusted and do not jam, and that no parts are incorrectly fitted or damaged. Check for other factors that could affect functionality. If the power tool is damaged, it must be repaired before being used again. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and bits etc., in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the actual working conditions and the work that is to be done. It can be dangerous to use power tools for purposes other than those for which they are intended to be used.
Keep handles and grips clean, dry and free from oil and grease. Greasy handles and grips make it difficult to hold the tool.

SERVICE
The power tool must only be serviced by qualified personnel using identical spare parts. This will ensure that the power tool remains safe to use.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Hold the power tool by the insulated grips when working in areas where the tool may come into contact with concealed electrical cables or its own power cord. Contact with a live cable will cause the metal parts on the tool to also become live – risk of electric shock.
The product must not be used to spray material with a flash point less than 21 ° c.
Do not use the product in areas where there is a risk of explosion.
Do not use the product near sources of heat, such as smoking cigarettes, naked flames, hot objects, and sparks, etc.
Never spray anything you are not familiar with.
Pull out the plug before working on the product.
Do not spray flammable substances.
Do not clean the product with flammable solvent with a flash point less than 21 ° c.
Read and follow all the warnings and information on the container for the sprayed material.

Never point the nozzle at yourself, other people or animals.

Make sure there is adequate ventilation so that the product cannot suck in fumes from solvent. Take the direction of the wind into consideration when working outdoors. The wind can carry spray mist and cause damage. Make sure there is adequate ventilation when working indoors.
Do not allow children to use the product.
Never open the product casing or attempt to repair electrical faults.
Do not lay the product on its side.

IMPORTANT:

Even if the product is used in accordance with the instructions it is impossible to rule out all risk factors. The following risks remain.
- Risk of damage to lungs if an effective breathing mask is not worn.
- Risk of hearing impairment if ear protection is not used.
- Risk of vibration injuries (if the product is used for long periods, or is not handled and maintained correctly).

SYMBOLS
The following symbols can be of importance for how you should use your power tool. Make sure you understand the symbols and their significance.

TECHNICAL DATA

Always wear ear protection.
The declared values for vibration and noise, which have been measured according to a standardised test method, can be used to compare different tools with each other and for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The measurement values have been determined in accordance with EN 60745-1:2009.
WARNING!
The actual vibration and noise level when using tools may differ from the specified maximum value, depending on how the tool is used and the material. It is therefore necessary to determine which safety precautions are required to protect the user, based on an estimate of exposure in actual operating conditions (taking into account all stages of the work cycle, e.g. the time when the tool is switched off and when it is idling, in addition to the start- up time).
