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, fi re 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 and battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
fl ammable liquids, gases 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.
2) Electrical safety
a) 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. Unmodifi ed plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) 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.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
3) 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 infl uence 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 protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) 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 fi nger on the
switch or energising 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.Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
4) 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) 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.
ENGLISH
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 aff ect the
power tool's operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
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 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 diff erent from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Sprayer safety instructions
a) In order to reduce the risk of fi re or explosion, do
not spray fl ammable liquids, such as petrol.
b) Only use water-based lawn and garden chemicals.
c) Do not use chemicals for commercial or industrial
purposes.
d) Risk of electric shock. Do not spray in the direction
of electrical sockets.
e) The spray area must be well ventilated.
f) Do not spray near sparks, fl ames or other sources
of ignition.
g) Ensure that you are aware of all the possible risks
associated with the respective spray material, the
individual chemicals and possible combinations.
h) Do not use any of the following liquids with the
device, as they may damage metal parts, the tank
or the hose::
• Caustic (alkaline)
• Corrosive
• Self-heating
i) Always follow the chemical manufacturer's
instructions for use, cleaning and storage that are
printed on the product label. Chemicals must be
kept out of the reach of children.
j) Do not spray any material of which the possible
dangers are unknown.
k) Wear appropriate protective equipment, such
as a face mask intended for spraying, gloves and
other appropriate protective equipment to reduce
exposure to spray materials.
l) Avoid all skin and eye contact with chemicals or
the fi nished spray solution, as well as inhaling
vapours and the spray mist. In case of contact,
take the following measures immediately::
• Wash the skin thoroughly with soap and water.
• Wash the eyes thoroughly with water.
• If irritation occurs, consult a doctor immediately.
