Read manual before usage

Denotes risk of personal injury or damage to the tool.

Class II - The machine is double insulated; Earthing wire is therefore not necessary.

In accordance with essential applicable safety standards of European directives

Wear a mask In dusty conditions

Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to heed warnings and follow instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Keep safety warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in the safety warnings refers to your mains- operated (corded) power tool or battery- operated (cordless) power tool.

• Keep working area clean and well lit. Untidy and dark areas can lead to accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in potentially explosive surroundings, for example, in the presence of inflammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep children and bystanders at a distance when operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control of it.

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 adapter plugs with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of an electric shock.

• Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, kitchen ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of an electric shock if your body is earthed.

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. If water gets inside a power tool, it will increase the risk of an electric shock.

• Do not damage the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of an electric shock.

• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable for outdoor use. Using a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of an electric shock.

• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a power supply protected by a residual current device (RCD). Using an RCD reduces the risk of an electric shock.

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention when operating a power tool may result in serious personal injury.POWDP7080 EN Copyright © 2019 VARO NV P a g e | 5 www.varo.com

• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Using safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection whenever it is needed will reduce the risk of personal injury.

• Avoid accidental starts. Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting the plug. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools when the switch is in the on position makes accidents more likely.

• Remove any adjusting keys or spanners before turning on the power tool. A spanner or key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

• Do not reach out too far. Keep your feet firmly on the ground at all times. This will enable you retain control over the power tool in unexpected situations.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from the power tool. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can become entangled in the moving parts.

• If there are devices for connecting dust extraction and collection facilities, please ensure that they are attached and used correctly. Using such devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.

• Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact.

• If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

• Your power tool should be serviced by a qualified specialist using only standard spare parts. This will ensure that it meets the required safety standards.

6 SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Firmly tighten the mixing paddle, and remove the spanner before starting the machine.

• Do not use the device in a potentially explosive environment.

• Do not use the device to stir solvent or other materials at a temperature above 21°C

• Wrap the cable and avoid physical contact with the cable.

• Only use extension cords, which are suitable for exterior

• Before switching on and off, make sure that the paddle is located in the shaft.

• Never mix or stir explosive or inflammable substances.

• When mixing, wear proper personal protection measures for eyes, ears, hands and breathing.

7 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERIES AND

CHARGERS Use only batteries and chargers applicable for this machine.

• Never attempt to open for any reason.

• Do not store in locations where the temperature may exceed 40 °C.

• Charge only at ambient temperatures between 4 °C and 40 °C.POWDP7080 EN Copyright © 2019 VARO NV P a g e | 6 www.varo.com

• When disposing of batteries, follow the instructions given in the section “Protecting the environment”.

• Do not cause short circuits. If connection is made between the positive (+) and negative (-) terminal directly or via accidental contact with metallic objects, the battery is short circuited and an intense current will flow causing heat generation which may lead to casing rupture or fire.

• Do not heat. If batteries are heated to above 100 °C, sealing and insulating separators and other polymer components may be damaged resulting in electrolyte leakage and/or internal short circuiting leading to heat generation causing rupture or file. Moreover do not dispose of the batteries in fire, explosion and/or intense burning may result.

• Under extreme conditions, battery leakage may occur. When you notice liquid on the battery, proceed as follows: Carefully wipe the liquid off using a cloth. Avoid skin contact. In case of skin or eye contact, follow the instructions below: ✓ Immediately rinse with water. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar. ✓ In case of eye contact, rinse abundantly with clean water for at least 10 minutes. Consult a physician. Fire hazard! Avoid short-circuiting the contacts of a detached battery. Do not incinerate the battery.

• Never attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries.

• Have defective cords replaced immediately.

• Do not expose to water.

• Do not open the charger.

• Do not probe the charger.

• The charger is intended for indoor use only. 8 OPERATION

8.1 Charging the battery pack

The battery pack for this tool is supplied in a low charge condition to prevent possible problems, therefore, you have to charge the battery before first use. Note: Batteries will not reach full charge the first time they are charged. Allow several cycles for the item to fully charge. The battery should only be charged indoors. After normal use, about 1 hour of charging time is required for the battery to be fully charged. The battery pack will become slightly warm while charging, this is normal and does not indicate a problem. Do not place the charger in an area of extreme heat or cold. Best is at normal room temperature. When the battery becomes fully charged, unplug your charger from the power supply and remove the battery pack from the charger. Note:

• Allow the battery pack to cool completely before charging

• Inspect the battery pack before charging, do not charge a cracked or leaking battery pack.POWDP7080 EN Copyright © 2019 VARO NV P a g e | 7 www.varo.com
