General Hazard!

Keep your work area tidy – a messy
work area invites accidents.
Be alert. Know what you are doing. Set
out to work with reason. Do not operate
electric tool while under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication.
Consider environmental conditions.
Keep work area well lighted.
Prevent adverse body positions. Ensure
firm footing and keep your balance at all
times.
Make sure the electric tool stands safely
and can not topple over (check air pres-
sure of tyres).
Do not operate electric tool near inflam-
mable liquids or gases.
Keep bystanders, particularly children,
out of the work area. Do not permit other
persons to touch the tool or power cable
while the electric tool is running.
Do not overload electric tool – use it only
within the performance range it was
designed for (see Technical Specifica-
tions).

B

Danger! Risk of electric shock!

Do not expose electric tool to rain.
Do not operate electric tool in damp or
wet environment.
Prevent body contact with earthed
objects such as radiators, pipes, cooking
stoves or refrigerators when operating
this electric tool.
Do not use the power cable for any pur-
pose it is not intended for.

A

Risk of personal injury by

escaping compressed air and parts
hurled about by escaping air!

Never direct compressed air against per-
sons or animals!
Ensure all air tools and accessories
used are designed for the working pres-
sure or are supplied via a pressure regu-
lator.

Please note that, when disconnecting
the quick coupler, the compressed air
contained in the pressure hose will
escape all of a sudden. You should
therefore firmly hold the air hose when
disconnecting it.
Ensure all screwed connections are fully
tightened at all times.
Do not attempt to repair the machine
yourself! Only trained specialists are
permitted to service or repair compres-
sors, pressure vessels and air tools.

A

Hazard generated by lubricated
compressed air!

Use lubricated compressed air only for
air tools requiring such supply. Do not
use an air hose, used to supply lubri-
cated compressed air, to supply air tools
not designed for operation on lubricated
compressed air. Do not fill tires with
lubricated compressed air.

A

Risk of burns from the sur-

faces of parts carrying compressed
air!

Let tool cool off before servicing.

A

Risk of personal injury and
crushing by moving parts!

Do not operate the electric tool without
installed guards.
Please note that the compressor will
start automatically when the pressure
falls off to minimum! – disconnect from
power supply prior to any servicing.
Ensure that when switching on (e.g. after
servicing) no tools or loose parts are in
the electric tool.
When coiling the air hose up or uncoiling
it, do not reach between the crank and
the transport handle.
