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.
Workplace safety
 Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark ar-
eas invite accidents.
 Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
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 and moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
 When operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-
sion cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable
for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
 If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoid-
able, use a residual current device (RCD) protected
supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
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 op-
erating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
 Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dusk mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropri-
ate 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 en-
ergising power tools that have the switch on invites acci-
dents.
 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 jewel-
lery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.

Use and care of the power tool
 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 bind-
ing 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.
 Use the power tool, accessories and application tools
etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of power tools for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
 Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair per-
son using only identical replacement parts. This will en-
sure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety Warnings for Fine-spray Systems
 Keep area clean well, lit and free of paint or solvent
containers, rags, and other flammable materials.
Spontaneous combustion may occur. Fire extinguisher
equipment shall be present and working at all times.
 Provide for good ventilation in the spraying area and
for sufficient fresh air in the complete room. Evaporat-
ing inflammable solvents create an explosive environment.
 Do not spray and clean with materials that have a flash
point of less than 55 °C. Use materials based on water,
non-volatile hydrocarbons or similar materials. Volatile
evaporating solvents create an explosive environment.
 Do not spray in the vicininty of ignition sources, such as
static electricity sparks, open flames, pilot lights, hot
objects, engines/motors, cigarettes and sparks from
plugging in or unplugging power cords or operating
switches. Such spark sources can ignite the spraying vi-
cinity/environment.
 Do not spray any liquid of unknown hazard potential.
Unknown materials can create hazardous conditions.
 Wear additional protective equipment such as appro-
priate protective gloves and protective masks or respi-
rators when spraying or handling chemicals. Wearing
