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 these devices can reduce dust re-

lated hazards.

4) Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The cor-

rect 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.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamil-

iar 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 affect the power tools operation. If dam-

aged, 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 instruc-

tions, 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 sit-

uation.

5) Service

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical re-

placement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

1.3 Special safety instructions

In accordance with DIN 1988-1 the devices must not be connected directly to the public drinking

water supply. According to the DVGW (German Technical and Scientific Association for Gas and

Water) short-term connection is, however, permissible if a return flow inhibitor with an aerator is

fitted in the inlet pipe.

Hose lines are to be guided in such a way that they are not pinched or damaged by bodies with

sharp edges. Extended tensile and bending stress to the hose lines is to be avoided.

The operator must ensure that the proper condition of the important parts and safety devices is

checked every time before the fluid spray gun is put into operation. Any faults are to be reme-

died before start-up.

For pipe cleaning work do not switch on until the nozzle and the hose are inserted into the pipe.

Please also observe the “Guidelines for fluid spray guns“ and “Safety of electric devices for do-

mestic use and similar purposes”.

Never take in solvent-containing fluids such as paint thinner, petrol, oil or similar fluids. Observe

the information provided by the manufacturers of the additives. The seals in the device are not

solvent resistant. The atomised spray of solvents is highly inflammable, able to explode, toxic.
