Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. The use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply.
The use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

a. 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.
b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye and hearing protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Be aware that the vibration emission levels during the actual use of this power tool may vary from the declared total value. The vibration emission during the actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared total value depending on the ways in which the tool is used. It’s necessary to identify safety measures to protect the operator based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (under consideration of all parts of the operating cycle, such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).
d. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to a power source and/or battery and 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

e. 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.
f. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
g. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
h. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Removal of dust can reduce dust-related hazards.
i. Do not let familiarity gained from the frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

a. 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.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn on and off easily. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery, if detachable, 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.
d. 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.

e. 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. Poorly maintained power tools cause many accidents.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories, 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.
h. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

a. Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.
b. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery/batteries.Use of any other battery may create a risk of injury and fire.
c. When the battery is not in use, 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.
d. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery. Avoid contact
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts the eyes, seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

e. Do not use a battery or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibitunpredictable behavior, resulting in fire, explosion, or risk of injury.
f. Do not expose a battery or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130°C / 265°F may cause an explosion.
g. Follow all charging instructions, and do not charge the battery or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

SERVICE

a. 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.
b. Never service a damaged battery. Service of the battery should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.

VACUUM LIFTING DEVICE SAFETY WARNINGS

a. Do not deliberately try to rip the load off with extreme force. There is a risk of the load crushing feet and hands and damaging the object and tool.
b. Do not lift objects weighing more than the weights specified in the lifting force chart. There is a risk the object will fall off.
c. Risk of load crushing feet and hands and damaging the object and tool. Do not shake the tool while lifting, moving, and placing objects. Do not swing or shake the load while lifting, moving, and placing objects. Do not use the tool when the seal is worn out. Lift and carry the load with uniform speed without sudden sharp and strong movements.
d. Do not use the tool while the battery is low. There is a risk of injury and damage to the materials being lifted.
e. If the sealing force begins to decrease noticeably while the battery is fully charged, check the SMART CUT foam seal for wear and tear or damage. Do not attempt to lift anything with the tool until you have replaced the seal.
f. Use caution when lifting large, thin, flexible sheets, like drywall, cardboard, plastic, plywood, thin sheet metal, etc. Thin sheets bend and flex and can unexpectedly change curvature above the limit and detach.
g. Do not attach the tool to surfaces with visible puddles of water. Internal components are not waterproof. If water is sucked into the air ducts, it can cause permanent damage to the tool. The GRABO® High-Flow is not waterproof; therefore, extreme caution should be taken when using it in rain or wet conditions.
h. Do not drop the tool from heights above 1.5 meters above the ground (chest level).If dropped by accident, inspect the seal side lips for damage.
i. Do not place heavy objects on top of the tool.
j. Do not place the digital display in direct sunlight or near strong heat sources for prolonged periods. Extreme heat may damage the display, and it may become unreadable. A damaged display does not necessarily impact the functionality of the tool.
k. To avoid overheating, do not cover the tool.
l. Ensure the switch is in the off position before transporting the tool and when in storage.Be mindful that the tool is not switched on accidentally.

! WARNING: Weight may drop without warning if the safety precautions are not met! The GRABO® High-Flow creates a strong vacuum. If the seal is broken, the allowed weight is exceeded, or any other factor causes the negative pressure to  release spontaneously, this kind of failure will happen suddenly and without any sensory indication or warning. You will not notice the weight detaching, and there will very dangerous, especially with heavy loads. Therefore all safety precautions should be fully followed.

SMART CUT FOAM SEAL USAGE AND SAFETY

! The SMART CUT foam seal is made of black rubber foam. The rubber foam seal uses patented technology and is one of the main components of the tool. It should be handled with caution as it directly impacts the overall performance and safety.
a. The seal can withstand an estimated 900 compression cycles, depending on the force and duration of compression, without any damage.
b. Avoid rubbing the seal over rough surfaces. The seal material is very prone to parallel wear (moving parallel to a rough surface in an ironing motion). Lift perpendicularly on very rough surfaces. Rubbing the seal over a smooth surface such as granite in the presence of thick abrasives (e.g., thick sand) will damage the seal and may cause unexpected detachment.
c. Surfaces with very sharp edges should not be lifted in parallel hold. Edges sharper than 45 degrees may damage the seal and lead to sudden vacuum loss and sudden detachment. The motor should always be on.
d. Always store the seal covered with a hardcover. The seal can be easily damaged by sharp corners and edges when in storage. The seal should not be stored with sharp tools or in contact with any hard objects (e.g., inside a toolbox).
e. Do not dip the seal in water. The SMART CUT foam seal is slightly water-absorbent. Washing the seal with water will not damage its performance unless it is fully dipped in water and soaking wet. If it is soaked in water, it can be squeezed by hand like a sponge to dry without damage. It is advisable to use a dry seal to avoid water getting sucked into air ducts and inside the body.
! Do not dip or use the seal in the presence of any oil-based products. Oil and oil products (machine oil + lubricants) will permanently damage the seal and cannot be removed. If the seal has absorbed oil, it should be disposed of safely, the base should be cleaned, and the seal replaced.

! Do not use or store the seal in the presence of chemical solvents. Kerosene, acetone, turpentine, benzene, acids, etc, and even their fumes in closed spaces or thin layers on surfaces can melt the seal and damage its structure potentially causing failure.

EXPLANATION OF SYMBOLS USED ON THE TOOL

❷ Read the operator’s manual before use.
❸ Wear hearing protection, protective shoes, and protective gloves.
❹ Do not dispose of the tool with household waste material.

TRANSPORT

The lithium-equivalent content in the batteries is below applicable limit values. Regulations governing hazardous goods may be relevant when transporting several batteries. In this case, it may be necessary to comply with special conditions, such as those governing packaging. Always make sure the national installation regulations are observed.

Nemo Power Tools Limited will attempt to diagnose any technical issues over the phone or via email based on the customer’s description of the problem, including videos/pictures of the faulty product sent to our technical team. In certain situations, a physical examination ofthe tool may be required to determine whether a technical issue falls within the scope of this one-year limited warranty.
