2. General safety instructions for
power tools
WARNING! Read all instructions!
Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric
shock, re and/or serious injury.
English
The term “power tool” in all of the warnings
listed below refers to your mains operated
(corded) power tool or battery operated
(cordless) power tool.
Save these instructions for future
reference!
2.1 Work area
a. Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas invite
accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explo-
sive atmospheres, such as in the pres-
ence of ammable liquids, gasses or
dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust of fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool. Distrac-
tions can cause you to lose control.
2.2 Electrical safety
a. 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.
b. Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
2.3 Personal safety
a. 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 medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
b. Use safety equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Safety equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off position before
plugging in. Carrying power tools with
your nger on the switch or plugging in
power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f. 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.
g. If devices are provided for the connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used. The use of these
pieces of equipment reduce hazards
caused by dust.
2.4 Power tool use and care
a. 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.
b. 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.
c. 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.
d. Maintain power tools. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools
operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many acci-
dents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
e. 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 result in a hazardous situation.
2.5 Service
a. Please use a qualied expert who uses
original replacement parts to repair
your power tool. This will ensure proper
functioning of the power tool.

the quick connection of the shut-off
valve (1).
10. Operation
(See Fig. D)
10.1 Set the rain barrel pump on a at sur-
face into the water supply you want to
pump off. Make sure that the pump
cannot move during operation. Pay
attention to the maximum submersion
depth. Always make sure that the suction opening (8) is not blocked or
obstructed during operation. If necessary, place the pump on a brick or
