GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifications provided with this power
tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
WORK AREA SAFETY
◾Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.

BRISTLE BRUSH ATTACHMENT — BBA21006
◾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.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
◾Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
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 medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
◾Always use personal protective equipment.
Personal protective equipment such as eye protection,
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat and/or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
◾Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing 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, jewelry 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 dust
devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
◾Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
tools allow you to become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles. A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
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.
◾Remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the
power tool and/or activate any battery disabling
device before clearing jammed material, making
any adjustments, changing accessories, cleaning,
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 and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding 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 and accessories.
◾Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
◾Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
◾Keep handles and grasping surface dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
◾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.

BRISTLE BRUSH ATTACHMENT — BBA2100 7
◾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.
◾Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged
or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may
exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire,
explosion or risk of injury.
◾Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire
or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 100 °C may cause explosion.
◾Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging
improperly or at temperatures outside the specified
range may damage the battery and increase the risk
of fire.
OTHER SAFETY WARNINGS
Training
◾Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the
controls and the proper use of the machine.
◾Never allow people unfamiliar with these instructions
or children to use the machine. Local regulations can
restrict the age of the operator.
◾Never work while people, especial children or pets are
nearby.
◾Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible
for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or
their property.
Preparation
◾While working, always wear substantial footwear and
long trousers. Do not operate the equipment when
barefoot or wearing open sandals.
◾Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to
be used and remove all objects which can be thrown
up by machine.
◾Before using, always visually inspect to see that the
tools are not worn out or damaged. Replace worn out
or damaged elements and bolts in sets to preserve
balance.
Operation
◾Do not operate the engine in the confined space where
dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.
◾Work only in daylight or in good artificial light.
◾Always be sure of your footing on slopes.
◾Walk, never run with the machine.
◾For wheeled rotary machines, work across the slopes,
never up and down.
◾Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on
slopes.
◾Do not work on excessively sleep slopes.
◾Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the
machine towards you.
◾Do not change the engine governor settings or over
speed the engine.
◾Start the engine carefully according to manufacturer
instructions and with feet well away from tool.
◾Do not put your hands or feet near or under rotating
parts.
◾Never pick up or carry a machine while the engine is
running.
OPERATION ON A SLOPE:
Slopes are a major factor related to slip-and-fall acci-
dents, which can result in severe injury. Always be sure of
your footing on slopes. Operation on slopes requires extra
caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not use it.
◾Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps
which can cause you to slip or trip. Tall grass can hide
obstacles.
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.
◾Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
