ders for breathing equipment is not per-
mitted.
Explosive, combustible gases or gases
detrimental to health may not be com-
pressed. Operation in hazardous loca-
tions is not permitted.
Any other use is not as specified. Use
not as specified, alteration of the

3.2 General safety informa-
tion
• When using this electric tool
observe the following safety instruc-
tions, to exclude the risk of personal
injury or material damage.
• Please also observe the special
safety instructions in the respective
chapters.
• Keep all documents, supplied with
the machine, for future reference.
• Observe the statuary accident insur-
ance institution regulations and reg-
ulations for the prevention of acci-
dents pertaining to the operation of
air compressors and air tools, where
applicable.
A
General hazard!
• Keep your work area tidy - a messy
work area invites accidents.
• Be alert. Know what you are doing.
Set out to work with reason. Do not
operate the electric tool while under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication.
• Consider environmental conditions.
• Keep work area well lighted.
• Prevent adverse body positions.
Ensure firm footing and keep your
balance at all times.
• Do not operate the electric tool near
inflammable liquids or gases.
• Keep bystanders, particularly chil-
dren, out of the work area. Do not
permit other persons to touch the
tool or power cable while the electric
tool is running.
• Do not overload the electric tool -
use it only within the performance
range it was designed for (see
"Technical Specifications").
B
Danger! Risk of electric shock!
• Do not expose the electric tool to
rain.
• Do not operate the electric tool in
damp or wet environment.
• Prevent body contact with earthed
objects such as radiators, pipes,
cooking stoves or refrigerators when
operating this electric tool.
• Do not use the power cable for any
purpose it is not intended for.
A
Risk of personal injury by
escaping compressed air and parts
hurled about by escaping air!
• Never direct compressed air against
persons or animals!
• Ensure all air tools and accessories
used are designed for the working
pressure or are supplied via a pres-
sure regulator.
• Please note that, when disconnect-
ing the quick coupler, the com-
pressed air contained in the pres-
sure hose will escape all of a
sudden. You should therefore firmly
hold the air hose when disconnect-
ing it.
• Ensure all screwed connections are
fully tightened at all times.
• Do not attempt to repair the machine
yourself! Only trained specialists are
permitted to service or repair com-
pressors, pressure vessels and air
tools.
