4 GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

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

4.1 Work area

§ Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.

§ Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of

flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

§ Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

4.2 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 any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

§ 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.

§ Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

§ 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.

§ 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.

§ 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.

4.3 Personal safety

§ 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 influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

POW5535 EN

§ Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used whenever conditions require will reduce personal injuries.

§ Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

§ 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.

§ Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

§ 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.

§ 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.

POW5535 EN

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.

§ Do not keep or consume food and drink in the work room. Paint vapours are harmful.

§ The details and designations of the Ordinance on Hazardous Substances, which are

displayed on the outer packaging of the processed material, must be observed. Additional protective measures are to be undertaken if necessary, particularly the wearing of suitable clothing and masks.

§ The work room has to be bigger than 30 m3 and have sufficient ventilation for spraying and drying. Never spray into the wind. It is always imperative to observe the regulations of your local police authorities when spraying combustible or hazardous substances.

§ Never process media such as white petroleum spirit, butyl alcohol and methylene chloride with the PVC pressure hose (reduced life span).

5.3 Operating pressure vessels

§ An operator of a pressure vessel is required to keep the pressure vessel in good working order, to operate it properly, to supervise its use, to carry out essential maintenance and repair work immediately, and to introduce essential safety measures according to requirements.

§ The supervisory authorities may order essential safeguards from case to case.

§ A pressure vessel may not be operated if it has any defects which constitute a danger to

employees or third parties.

§ The pressure vessel must be regularly inspected for damage, e.g. rust. If you discover any damage, then please contact the customer service workshop.

6 POINTS TO NOTE WHEN SETTING UP THE COMPRESSOR

§ Examine the machine for signs of transit damage. Report any damage immediately to the company which delivered the compressor.

§ The compressor should be set up near the working consumer.
