General Safety Information
CAUTION! Read all the instructions. Errors in
observing the following instructions can result in
electrical shock, re and/or serious injuries. The
term “electrical tools” used below, refers to mains-
operated electrical tools (with a mains cable)
and to battery-operated electrical tools (without a
mains cable).
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE
PLACE.

The device
· has been designed and tested in accordance
with EN 60335-1 in connection with EN 60332-
2-45.
· is CE certicated
· has left the plant in perfect condition as far as
safety is concerned.
In order to maintain this state, it is necessary
to observe the contents of this safety informa-
tion when handling the device (transportation,
storage, installation, commissioning, operation,
servicing, de-commissioning) as well as the
rating plates, labelling and safety information at-
tached to the device, otherwise it could endanger
persons and damage the device itself as well as
other equipment.
This safety information applies in the Federal
Republic of Germany. The relevant national rules
and regulations must be observed when it is used
in other states/countries. The generally valid
safety and accident prevention regulations must
be observed in addition to the references in this
Manual.
If the information in this safety information does
not sufce, then you can contact the manufac-
turer at any time at the indicated address.
Please check the packaging and le a complaint
with the forwarding agent immediately in the case
of any damages.
Please examine the device prior to commission-
ing to ensure that the device has no damages
of any kind. In the event of doubt, please ask a
qualied electrician for advice or contact the ad-
dress shown below.
If you assume that a danger-free operation
is no longer possible, then take the devic
out of operation and secure it from being restarted
unintentionally.
One must assume that a danger-free operation is
no longer possible
· if the device or the connection lead shows vis-
ible damages,
· if the device no longer functions,
· if it was stored under detrimental conditions,
· after severe demands due to transportation.
Workplace
Keep your working area clean and tidy. Disorderly
and non-illuminated working areas can result in
accidents.
Keep children and other people away from the
electrical tools while in use. You can lose control
of the device if you are distracted.
Use the device only for its intended use (see
below).
Do not reach into the ow of hot air. Touch-
ing the jet or the protective pipe can result
in burns when it is hot.
A re can develop if the unit is not handled
carefully.
Caution when using the device near ammable
materials. Do not direct towards one and the
same point for an extended period of time.
Heat can be conveyed to ammable materials,
which are covered.
Never work with the device in surroundings
that could be explosive, or in which
amable liquids, gases or dust can be found.
Electrical tools generate sparks, which can ignite
the dust or the fumes.
The connection lead may not come into
contact with hot parts.
Place on the stand and allow to cool off after use,
before it is packed away.

Toxic fumes can develop when processing
lacquers/paints and plastics. Avoid inhaling the
fumes. Ensure the working area is well venti-
lated.
Do not leave the device unsupervised, as long as
it is in operation.
Electrical safety
Before commissioning, please check whether
the operating voltage for the device and the line
voltage match.
If the device is brought into warm surroundings
from cold surroundings, condensation may form
on it. In that case, wait until temperature adjust-
ment has occurred. There is a risk of mortal
danger if the device is commissioned when it is
covered in condensation!
The connection plug on the device must t into
the socket. The plug must not be changed
in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs to-
gether with any protective grounded devices.
Unmodied plugs and suitable outlets reduce the
risk of an electric shock.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such
as those on pipes, radiators, stoves and
refrigerators. There is an increased of risk due to
electric shock if your body is grounded.
Keep the device away from rain or moisture.
The penetration of water into an electrical device
increases the risk of an electric shock.
Do not use the cable for other purposes such as
carrying or hanging up the device, or to pull the
plug out of the electrical outlet. Keep the cable
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
devices. Damaged or tangled up cables increase
the risk of an electric shock.
If you work outdoor with an electrical tool, always
use special extension cables that are approved
for external areas. Using suitable extensions
cables for outdoor areas reduces the risk of an
electrical shock.
Personal safety
This device is not intended to be used by per-
sons (including children) with limited physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or persons who
have insufcient knowledge and/or experience,
unless they are being supervised by a person
responsible for their safety or have received
instructions on how to use the device from that
person. Electrical tools are dangerous if they are
used by inexperienced persons.
Always store electrical tools out of the reach of
children when not in use.
Please be cautious and pay attention to what you
are doing and use common sense when working
with an electrical tool. Do not use the device if
you are tired or under the inuence of drugs,
alcohol or medications. Not paying attention for
just a moment can result in serious injuries when
using such a device.
Avoid unintended commissioning. Always make
sure that the switch is in the “OFF” position be-
fore you insert the plug in the socket. If you have
the nger on the switch when you are carrying it
or have it switched on when you connect it to the
power supply, this can result in accidents.
Do not overestimate yourself! Ensure you are
standing securely and always maintain your
equilibrium (balance). That way, you are in a bet-
ter position to control the device in the event of
an unexpected situation.
Wear suitable clothing! Do not wear any overly
large clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing
and gloves away from any moving parts. Loose
clothing, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
Careful Handling and Use of
Electrical Tools
Do not overload the device. Use the correct
electrical tool that is intended for the task at
hand. You can work better and more securely in
the indicated performance range with the correct
electrical tool.
Never use an electrical tool that has a faulty
switch. An electrical tool that cannot be switched
on or off any more is dangerous and must be
repaired.
Pull the plug out of the socket before you adjust
the device settings, change accessories or put
the device away. These precautions prevent the
device from starting unintentionally.
Treat the device with care. Examine it to see
whether the moving device parts function
perfectly and do not stick or to see whether any
parts are broken or damaged to such an extent
that the functionality of the device is impaired.
Have damaged parts repaired before using the
device. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained electrical tools.
Utilise electrical tools, accessories, add-on tools,
