SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING!
Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

• Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1. Work area safety

   • Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
   • Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
   • Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety

   • Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed
     (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

   • Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

   • Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

   • Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

   • When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

   • If operating a power tools in a damp loca-tion is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3. Personal safety

   • Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
   • Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
   • Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
   • Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
   • Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
   • Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
   • If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

4. Operator

   • Young people under 16 years of age and people who do not know the operating instructions are not allowed to use the appliance. Observe any country-specific safety regulations concerning the minimum age of the user.
   • Do not operate the appliance if you are under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication.

5. Power tool use and care

   • Do not force the power tool. 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.
   • Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
   • Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack 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.
   • 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.
   • Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. 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 bind and are easier to control.
   • 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 operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

6. Battery tool use and care

   • Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charter that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
   • Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
   • When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, lie paperclips, 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.
   • Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected form the battery may cause irritation or burns.

7. Service

   • 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.

TRANSPORT

Before transporting, carry out the following measures:

1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Remove the rechargeable battery from the appliance.
3. Pack the battery properly.
   NOTE
   The nominal energy of the rechargeable battery is less than 100 Wh. Therefore, heed the following transport instructions.

The li-ion rechargeable battery contained in the appliance is subject to the hazardous goods law, but can be transported under simplified conditions:

• The undamaged rechargeable battery can be transported on public roads by the private us-er without further conditions provided it is packaged for retail sale and the transport serves personal purposes. The weight limits for batteries sent separately must be observed:
  • Max. 30 kg total weight per package when transported by road, rail and water
  • No upper limit for air transport but max. 2 pieces per package
• If damage to the battery (e.g. due to the appliance falling) is suspected, transport is not permissible.
• Commercial users who carry out the transport in connection with their main activity (e.g. delivery from and to building sites, or demonstrations) can also take advantage of this simplification.

In both cases, it is essential to take the mandatory precautions mentioned above to prevent any leakage of the contents. In other cases, it is essential to comply with the regulations of the hazardous goods law. In the case of non- compliance, severe penalties can be imposed on the sender and possibly the transporter.

Additional notes on transport and shipment

• Only transport or ship lithium-ion rechargeable batteries in an undamaged state.
• Secure the appliance in such a way as to prevent it from starting to operate inadvertently during transport.
• Secure the appliance with strong outer packaging (cardboard shipment box). Use the manufacturer’s original packaging if possible.
• Ensure correct identification and documenta-tion of the consignment during transport or dispatch (e.g. by parcel or forwarding):
  • When transporting by road, rail and water, a warning sticker must be applied to the packaging when the battery/batteries accompany the appliance. No warning sticker is necessary if the battery/batteries are installed or fitted into the appliance, since the outer packaging/original packaging must already comply with specific regulations.
  • A warning sticker must always be placed on the packaging when transporting by air. The maximum weight limits for batteries sent together with the appliance must be observed: max. 5 kg battery weight per package and max. 2 pieces per package, if the battery/batteries are accompanying the appliance.
• Please find out in advance whether transport is possible with the selected service provider, and show your shipment.

We recommend involving a hazardous goods specialist in the preparation of the shipment. Please heed any other national regulations.

STORAGE

Thoroughly clean the appliance after each use and – if present – attach all covers. Store the appliance in a dry, lockable place out of the reach of children.

• Do not store chemicals in the tank.
• Inspect all parts for leaks after every use.
• The spray lance can be stored in the bracket.

Storing the rechargeable battery and charging unit

DANGER!
Danger of explosion and fire!
Persons will be fatally or severely injured if the rechargeable battery explodes because it was stored in front of naked flames or heat sources.

• Store the rechargeable battery in cool and dry conditions, but not in front of naked flames or heat sources.
  NOTE
  When charging, the rechargeable battery is protected from overcharging due to automatic detection of the charge status and thus can remain connected to the charging unit for some time, but not permanently.
