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 medi-
cation. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• 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.
• 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 energising power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• 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.
• 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
jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• 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.
• Do not let familiarity gained from 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 sec-
ond.
Power tool use and care
• 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 can-
not be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool acciden-
tally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren 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 and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that
28
may affect the power tool's operation. If dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly main-
tained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• 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 different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
• 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 unex-
pected situations.
Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replace-
ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
Safety information for paint spray gun
• Keep your working area clean, well illumi-
nated and free from paint and solvent contain-
ers, cloths and other flammable materials.
Risk of spontaneous combustion. Have function-
ing fire extinguishers/extinguishing equipment
available at all times.
• Ensure good ventilation in the spray area and
adequate fresh air throughout the room.
Vaporising flammable solvents create an explo-
sive environment.
• Do not spray or clean using materials with a
flash point of below 55 °C. Use materials that
are based on water, low-volatile hydrocarbons
or similar substances. Highly-volatile, vaporis-
ing solvents create an explosive environment.
• Do not spray in the vicinity of ignition sources
such as static electricity sparks, naked
flames, pilot lights, hot objects, engines/
motors, cigarettes and sparks from plugging
in and unplugging electric cables or operating
switches. Such spark sources can cause the sur-
rounding environment to ignite.
• Do not spray materials with an unknown risk
factor. Unknown materials can cause hazardous
conditions.
• Wear additional personal protective equip-
ment, such as suitable safety gloves and a
protection or respirator mask when spraying
or handling chemicals. Wearing protective
equipment for the appropriate conditions reduces
the exposure to hazardous substances.
• Do not spray yourself, other people or ani-
mals. Keep your hands and other body parts
away from the spray jet. If the spray jet pene-
trates the skin, seek medical assistance
immediately. Even through a glove, the sprayed
product can penetrate the skin and be injected
into your body.
• Do not treat an injection as a simple cut. A
high-pressure jet can inject toxins into the body
and cause serious injury. If product is injected into
the skin, seek medical assistance immediately.
