The noise from the equipment might exceed 85 dB(A). The operator will require noise protection measures if this is the case.

The stated vibration emission levels and stated noise emission values were measured in accordance with a set of standardized criteria and can be used to compare one power tool with another.

The stated vibration emission levels and stated noise emission values can also be used to make an initial assessment of exposure.

Warning

The vibration and noise emission levels may vary from the level specified during actual use, depending on the way in which the power tool is used, especially the type of workpiece it is used for.

Important!
The vibration value changes according to the area of application of the electric equipment and may exceed the specified value in exceptional circumstances.

Keep the noise emissions and vibrations to a minimum

Only use appliances which are in perfect working order.
Service and clean the appliance regularly.

Lung damage if no suitable protective dust mask is used.
Damage to hearing if no suitable ear protection is used.

Danger

The electric power tool generates an electromagnetic field during operation. Under certain circumstances this field may actively or passively impede medical implants. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injuries, we recommend persons with medical implants to consult their doctor and the manufacturer of the medical implant prior to using the equipment.

Before starting the equipment

This product is supplied without batteries and without a charger and is allowed to be used only with the lithium-ion batteries of the Power-X-Change series!

Charging the lithium-ion battery pack

(Fig. 3.4)

Pull the battery pack out of the handle, pressing the pushlock button (C) downwards while you do so.
Check that your mains voltage is the same as that marked on the rating plate. Insert the power plug of the charger into the socket outlet. The green LED will begin to blink.
Push the battery pack onto the battery charger.

In the section entitled „Charger indicator“ you will find a table with an explanation of the LED indicator on the charger.

If the battery pack fails to charge, check for the following:

Is there voltage at the power socket
Is there good contact at the charger’s charging contacts

If the battery pack still fails to charge, please send

the charger and charging adapter
and the battery pack

to our customer service center.

To ensure that items are properly packaged and delivered when you send them to us, please contact our customer service or the point of sale at which the equipment was purchased.

When shipping or disposing of batteries and cordless tools, always ensure that they are packed individually in plastic bags to prevent short circuits and fi res.

To ensure that the battery pack provides long service, you should take care to recharge it promptly. You must recharge the battery pack when you notice that the performance of the device drops. Never allow the battery pack to become fully discharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.

Battery capacity indicator

(Fig. 5)

Press the button for the battery capacity indicator (A). The battery capacity indicator (B) shows the charge status of the battery using 3 LEDs.

All 3 LEDs are lit:
The battery is fully charged.

2 or 1 LED(s) are lit:
The battery has an adequate remaining charge.

1 LED flashes:
The battery is empty, recharge the battery

All LEDs blink:
The battery temperature is too low. Remove the battery from the equipment, keep it at room temperature for one day. If the fault reoccurs, this means that the rechargeable battery has undergone exhaustive discharge and is defective. Remove the battery from the equipment. Never use or charge a defective battery.

Fitting a battery

(Fig. 3)

Push the battery into the battery mount provided. When the battery is positioned as in Fig. 3, make sure that the pushlock button (C) latches in place! To remove the battery, proceed as described in section 5.1.

Operation

Warning

The equipment does not have an automatic cut-out. You must therefore monitor the complete inflation and deflation process.

Do not exceed the inflation pressure recommended by the manufacturer in any circumstances. If inflated objects burst they can cause serious injuries.
Never insert any objects in the blow connector or the suction connector. Do not cover the air openings.
Never direct the air outlet towards eyes while the equipment is working.
To prevent overheating, allow the equipment to cool down after every 20 minutes of operation.
In the event of overloading, switch off the equipment immediately and allow it to cool.

Switching on and off

(Fig. 1)

To activate the equipment briefly, press and hold the switch (Item 5) lightly.
Press the switch (Item 5) to switch on the equipment. The switch will latch in place and does not need to be held.
To switch off, press the switch (Item 5) again

LED light

(Fig. 1)

The LED lamp (Item 6) can illuminate the work area in poor lighting conditions. It lights up automatically when the equipment is switched on, and it continues to shine for a few seconds when the equipment is switched off .

Inflating

(Fig. 6/7)

Use the enclosed adapters if necessary.

Plug the large adapter (Item 3) onto the blow connector (Item 2) and turn it to the left until it locks in place.
Pug the small adapter (Item 4) onto the already mounted large adapter if needed.

Deflating

(Fig. 8)

Use one or, if necessary, both of the enclosed adapters as shown.

Note:
To avoid problems during inflation or deflation, make sure when you insert the small adapter into standard valves that the usually existing non-return valve (valve flap) is open. This can be opened slightly by gently squeezing the valve together.

Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Danger!
Always pull out the mains power plug before starting any cleaning work

Cleaning

Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

Maintenance

There are no parts inside the equipment which require additional maintenance.
