5 GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow all warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire 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 or battery operated (cordless) power tool.

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

5.2 Electrical safety

Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.

• 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 or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

• 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.

• 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.POWX1700 EN Copyright © 2022 VARO P a g e | 5 www.varo.com

• 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 operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used whenever conditions require will reduce personal injuries.

• Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in 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, clothing and gloves 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 these devices can reduce dust related hazards.

5.4 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 cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

• Disconnect the plug from the power source 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 sticking 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.

• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to stick and are easier to control.

• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from intended could lead to a hazardous situation.

• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

6 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Know your inflator. Read operator’s manual carefully.

• Learn its applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious injury.

• Risk of bursting. Do not operate inflator to result in output pressure greater than marked maximum pressure of item to be inflated. Do not use at pressure greater than 8 Bar.POWX1700 EN Copyright © 2022 VARO P a g e | 6 www.varo.com

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose to rain. Store indoors.

• Inspect unit for cracks, pin holes, or other imperfections that could cause inflator to become unsafe.

• Never cut or drill holes in the inflator.

• Make sure the hose is free of obstructions or snags.

• Entangled or snarled hoses can cause loss of balance or footing and may become damaged.

• Use the inflator only for its intended use. Do not alter or modify the unit from the original design or function.

• Always be aware that misuse and improper handling of this inflator can cause injury to yourself and others.

• Never leave an inflator unattended with the air hose attached to the item being inflated.

• Do not continue to use a inflator or hose that leaks air or does not function properly.

• Always disconnect the air supply and power supply before making adjustments, servicing an inflator, or when an inflator is not in use.

• Do not attempt to pull or carry the inflator by the hoses.

• Always follow all safety rules recommended by the manufacturer of your inflator, in addition to all safety rules for the inflator. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

• Do not use inflator as a breathing device.

• Never direct a jet of compressed air toward people or animals. Take care not to blow dust and dirt towards yourself or others. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious injury.

• Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

• Do not use this inflator to spray chemicals. Your lungs can be damaged by inhaling toxic fumes.

• Check damaged parts. Before further use of the inflator or air tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function.

• Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center. Following this rule will reduce the risk of shock, fire, or serious injury.

• Inspect tool cords periodically and, if damaged, have repaired at your nearest Authorized Service Center.

• Constantly stay aware of cord location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.

• Risk of bursting. Carefully monitor objects during inflation.

• To reduce the risk of over inflation, use a reliable pressure gauge periodically during inflation. The pressure guage on the inflator is for reference only and is therefore not binding for exact values.

• Never leave the inflator unattended during inflation.

• Allow pump to cool for five (5) minutes after each five (5) minutes of continuous use. Never block the inflating or deflating outlets while operating.

• Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who may use this inflator.
