General safety instructions for power tools

WARNING! Read all instructions!

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

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

Save these instructions for future reference!

Work area

a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.

b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gasses or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

a. 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.

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 safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d. 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.

e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f. 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.

g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. The use of these pieces of equipment reduce hazards caused by dust.

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 it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c. 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.

d. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

e. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Service

a. Please use a qualified expert who uses original replacement parts to repair your power tool. This will ensure proper functioning of the power tool.

Intended use

• The rain barrel pump is designed for pumping clear water only.
• The rain barrel pump is intended for pumping water from a rainwater butt or rainwater collecting tank. It is particularly suitable for watering plants in the garden.
• It is not intended for delivering salt water, corrosive, easily flammable or explosive liquids (e.g. petrol, paraffin, thinners, etc.), faces, oil, heating oil or foodstuffs.
• This pump is not intended for commercial or industrial purposes.
• The pump is not suitable for continuous operation, e.g. for watercourses in garden ponds.
• The intended use also includes an operation following the operating instructions. Any use beyond these parameters (different media, applying force) or any changes (reconstruction, no original accessory) can lead to serious risks and is regarded as use that is contrary to the intended purpose.

Charging the battery

(See Fig. B ).

Before using the pump for the first time, fully charge the battery.

8.1 Connect the battery charger (9) with a wall socket. The LED lights up green to indicate that power is on.

8.2 Connect the battery (11) with the battery charger. The LED lights up red to indicate that the battery is charging. Charge the battery for approx. 6 hours. When the battery is fully charged, the LED lights up green.

8.3 After charging process, disconnect the charger from the unit and unplug from mains.

Assembly

(See Fig. C ).

9.1 Before each use, check the pump for any damages. Do not use the pump in case of damages.

9.2 Place the sealing washer (10) on the pump housing (7) and screw the nut (6) on the housing.

9.3 Tightly attach the hose (not included) to be used for pumping off the water to the quick connection of the shut-off valve (1).

9.4 For extra length you can add the optional extension tube (14).

Operation

(See Fig. D ).

10.1 Set the rain barrel pump on a flat surface into the water supply you want to pump off. Make sure that the pump cannot move during operation. Pay attention to the maximum submersion depth. Always make sure that the suction opening (8) is not blocked or obstructed during operation. If necessary, place the pump on a brick or similar.

10.2 Run the irrigation hose for watering the plants. Observe the maximum delivery height.

10.3 Open the shut-off valve (1).

10.4 Insert the battery (11) into the battery compartment (4). To switch on the rain barrel pump, push the ON/OFF switch (2) in direction I. To switch off the pump push the switch (2) in direction O. (See Fig. E ).

10.5 When not in use, remove the battery from the battery compartment. Depress the release button on the battery and pull out the battery from the compartment.

• Make sure that water and moisture cannot get into the control unit.
• Make sure that no particles bigger than approx. 1 mm are sucked into the pump.
• Never pull the rain barrel pump by the cord.
• Avoid dry running of the pump! Dry running is operating the pump without water in the casing.

Using the clamp

(See Fig. F ).

11.1 If necessary, fix the rain barrel pump with the included clamp (12) on the rain barrel.

11.2 Screw the tightening screw (13) with a suitable hex key (size 5) hand tight on the rain barrel. The clamp will protect the pump from tipping over.
