SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING!
Always take basic safety precautions when using battery-powered products to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or personal injury.

• The term “power tool” in all the warnings below refers to mains-powered (corded) or battery-powered (cordless) power tools.
• Read these instructions carefully and familiarise yourself with the controls on the product and how they are used.
• Never allow children to use the product.
• Never allow persons who are not familiar with the product, or who have not read these instructions, to use it. There may be local regulations for the minimum age of persons allowed to use the product.
• Do not use the product when other persons, especially children, or pets, are in the vicinity.
• The user is responsible for any accidents or risks to other persons or property.

PREPARATIONS

• Always wear heavy-duty shoes and long trousers when using the product.
• Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewelry which can be drawn into the air intake. Keep long hair away from the air intake.
• Wear safety glasses.
• Wear a dust filter mask if the work produces a lot of dust.

HOW TO USE

• Only use the product in daylight, or in good artificial lighting.
• Do not overreach. Always maintain a firm footing and good balance.
• Make sure you always have a good footing on sloping ground and steps, etc.
• Never run with the product.
• Keep all the ventilation openings clean and free from debris.
• Always blow debris away from onlookers.

WARNING!
Do not allow familiarity with similar products to lead to exaggerated self- confidence and neglect the safety instructions for the product. Remember that a fraction of a second of inattention or negligence can result in serious personal injury.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

• Make sure that all the screw unions are properly tightened to keep the product in a safe condition.
• Replace damaged or worn parts. Only use spare parts and accessories recommended by the manufacturer.
• Store the product in a dry place.

WARNING
Only use parts and accessories recommended by the manufacturer. The use of other parts can result in personal injury and/or material damage.

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 onlookers, especially children, and pets at a safe distance when using power tools. You can easily lose control of the product if you are distracted.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• 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.

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. Remember that a fraction of a second of inattention or negligence can result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal safety equipment. Wear safety glasses. Depending on the type of product 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. Check that the power switch is in the OFF position before plugging in the plug or battery, or lifting/ carrying the product. Carrying a power tool with your finger on the switch, or connecting a tool to the mains supply when the switch is in the ON position, increases the risk of accidents and injuries.
• Remove any adjuster keys and the like before starting the product. Spanners or the like that are left in a rotating part of the product 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 nothing. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose-fitting clothing, jewelry and long hair can get caught in moving parts.

USE AND CARE

• Do not touch the fan when the product is in use. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for the planned work. The power tool does the job better and is safer when used at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if it cannot be switched on and off with the power switch. Power toots that cannot be controlled with the power switch are dangerous and must be repaired. 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 people.
• 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 toots.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting toots with sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories, bits, etc., in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the actual working conditions and the work that is to be done. tt can be dangerous to use power tools for purposes other than those for which they are intended to be used.
• Keep the handles clean, dry, and free from oil and grease.

BATTERY USE AND CARE

• Only use power tools with the batteries specified by the manufacturer. The use of other batteries can result in a risk of personal injury and/or fire. When the battery is not in use keep it away from metal objects such as paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, and other small metal objects that can short circuit the terminals. Short-circuiting the battery terminals can result in a risk of burns and/or fire. Failure to handle the battery carefully can cause fluid to leak from the battery. Avoid contact with battery fluid. On contact with battery fluid, rinse immediately with plenty of fresh water. Seek medical attention on contact with battery fluid. fluid leaking from the battery can cause irritation or burns.

TECHNICAL DATA

Measured, Guaranteed
Always wear ear protection.**
The declared vibration value, which has been measured by 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 50636-100:2014.

WARNING!
The actual vibration level when using power tools may differ from the specified maximum value, depending on how the tool is used. 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).
