GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY

WARNINGS Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustra- tions and specications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.4 English Save all warnings and instruc- tions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool. Work area safety

1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or

dark areas invite accidents.

2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-

spheres, such as in the presence of ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

3. Keep children and bystanders away while

operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Electrical Safety

1. 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. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded

surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec- tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-

ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. Use of power supply via an RCD with a rated

residual current of 30 mA or less is always recommended.

8. Power tools can produce electromagnetic

elds (EMF) that are not harmful to the user. However, users of pacemakers and other similar medical devices should contact the maker of their device and/or doctor for advice before operating this power tool.

9. Do not touch the power plug with wet hands.

10. If the cord is damaged, have it replaced by the

manufacturer or his agent in order to avoid a safety hazard. Personal Safety

1. 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 inuence of drugs, alcohol or med- ication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

2. Use personal protective equipment. Always

wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the

switch is in the o󰀨-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

4. 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.

5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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 second.

9. Always wear protective goggles to protect

your eyes from injury when using power tools. The goggles must comply with ANSI Z87.1 in the USA, EN 166 in Europe, or AS/NZS 1336 in Australia/New Zealand. In Australia/New Zealand, it is legally required to wear a face shield to protect your face, too. It is an employer’s responsibility to enforce the use of appropriate safety protective equip- ments by the tool operators and by other per- sons in the immediate working area. Power tool use and care

1. 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.

2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does

not turn it on and o󰀨. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

3. Disconnect the plug from the power source5

English 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 accidentally.

4. 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.

5. Maintain power tools and accessories. Check

for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may a󰀨ect the power tool’s operation. If dam- aged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits

etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak- ing into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations di󰀨erent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

8. 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 unexpected situations.

9. When using the tool, do not wear cloth work

gloves which may be entangled. The entangle- ment of cloth work gloves in the moving parts may result in personal injury. Service

1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied

repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

2. Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-

Q Do not place your hand over the air vents or block the vents in any way. Q The nozzle and accessories of this tool become extremely hot during use. Let these parts cool down before touching. Q Always switch the tool o󰀨 before putting it down. Q Do not leave the tool unattended while it is switched on. Q A re may arise if the appliance is not used with care. Q Heat may be conducted to combustible materi- als that are out of sight. Do not use in a damp atmosphere, where ammable gases may be present or near combustible materials. Q Allow the tool to cool fully before storing. Q Ensure adequate ventilation as toxic fumes may be produced. Q Do not use as a hairdryer. Q Do not obstruct either the air intake or noz- zle outlet, as this may cause excessive heat build-up resulting in damage to the tool. Q Do not direct the hot air blast at other people. Q Do not touch the metal nozzle as it becomes very hot during use and remains hot for up to 30 minutes after use. Q Do not place the nozzle against anything while using or immediately after use. Q Do not poke anything down the nozzle as it could give you an electric shock. Do not look down the nozzle while the unit is work- ing because of the high temperature being produced. Q Do not allow paint to adhere to the nozzle or scraper as it could ignite after some time. Removing paint Q Do not use this tool to remove paint containing lead. The peelings, residue and vapors of paint may contain lead, which is poisonous. Any pre-1960 building may have been painted in the past with paint containing lead and cov- ered with additional layers of paint. Once deposited on surfaces, hand to mouth contact can result in the ingestion of lead. Exposure even to low levels of lead can cause irreversible damage to the brain and nervous system. Young and unborn children are partic- ularly vulnerable. Q When removing paint, ensure that the work area is enclosed. Preferably wear a dust mask. Q Do not burn the paint. Use the scraper and keep the nozzle at least 25 mm away from the painted surface. When working in a vertical direction, work downwards to prevent paint from falling into the tool and burning. Q Dispose of all paint debris safely and ensure that the work area is thoroughly cleaned after completing the work.
