Safety Notes

Please note the included General Safety Notes and the following safety notes to avoid malfunctions, damage or physical injury:

Please read this manual carefully and use the unit only according to this manual.
When using the tool, use safety equipment including ear protection. If operating the tool causes discomfort in any way, stop immediately and review your method of use.
Dispose of used packaging material carefully or store it out of the reach of children. There is a danger of suffocation!
Persons with limited physical, sensorial or mental abilities are not allowed to use the unit, unless they are supervised and briefed for their safety by a qualified person.
Battery chargers are for indoors use only. Ensure that the power supply and charger are protected against moisture at all times.
The air pump is not designed for inflating truck or tractor tyres, or large car tyres or other large-volume items. The air pump is only intended for domestic use and not made for professional, continuous operation. To inflate these items, please use a suitable inflator in addition.
Keep in mind that parts of the unit can become very hot during use. There is risk of burns!
Do not point the air outlet towards people or animals. The air pump forms high pressure.
Do not allow liquids of any kind, dirt or sand to enter the unit.
Keep the ventilation louvers of the unit free from obstructions in order to avoid overheating the motor.
Do not expose the unit to high temperatures, strong vibration and humidity.
A pressure which is too high in the inflated object can burst it. Check and observe the pressure and the object while inflating.
The information about the measured pressure, shown at the pressure gauge, are only reference values. We recommend checking the air pressure with a calibrated air pressure manometer.
Do not disassemble the air pump or do not attempt to repair it yourself. The unit does not contain replaceable or repairable parts.
When not in use, while maintaining and cleaning always remove the battery from the air pump.
Periodically check all nuts, bolts and other fixings and tighten where necessary.

Additional Battery and Charger Safety Notes

WARNING: Li-Ion batteries, if incorrectly used, stored or charged are a fire, burn and explosion hazard.

Use the battery charger correctly

Refer to the section of this manual relating to use of the battery charger before attempting to charge the battery.
Do not attempt to use the charger with any batteries other than those supplied. Failure to follow these instructions may cause overheating or fire.
When battery pack is not in use, make sure the battery pack cannot be shorted accidentally. Keep the battery clean at all times. Keep it away from other metal objects, like paper 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 burns or a fire.
Allow batteries to cool for 15 minutes after charging or heavy use. Failure to follow these instructions may cause overheating or fire.
Use only chargers recommended by the manufacturer to charge the batteries. If a charger is not suitable for a certain kind of battery there is a risk of fire. Only use Li-Ion batteries provided with a product or specifically designed to be compatible.
Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
The unit is designed for operation in altitudes of up to 2000 m above sea level.
Keep the battery out of reach of children.
When not in use batteries should be stored at room temperature (approximately 20˚ C).
Do not open, disassemble, crush, heat above 60° C or incinerate. Do not dispose of in fire or similar.
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
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.
