 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.

4.4

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.

4.5

Service

 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.

5 PRECAUTIONS

5.1

Safety instructions for working with copressed air and blasting guns

 Compressors and lines reach high temperatures during operation. Avoid contact! Risk of

burns!

 Gases or vapours drawn in by the compressor have to be kept free of constituents that

may cause fire or explosions inside the compressor.

 When you disconnect the hose coupling, hold the coupling element in your hand to

prevent injury from the whiplashing hose.

 Wear goggles when working with the blow-out gun. Injuries may easily result from foreign

bodies and blasted parts.

 Never point the blow-out gun at other persons and never use it to clean clothes that are

still being worn.

5.2

Safety information for paint spraying

 Never process paints or solvents with a flash point below 55°C.
 Never heat paints or solvents.
 It is imperative to use filtering equipment (face masks) when processing harmful liquids.

Note also the information concerning safety precautions published by the manufacturers of
these liquids.

 Smoking is prohibited during the spraying operation and in the work room. Paint vapours

are highly flammable.

 Make sure there are no open fires or open lights in the work room. Sparking machines are

not to be used.
