1 GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING! Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock,
fire and/ or serious injury. 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.
1.1 Work area
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b) 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.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
1.2 Electrical safety
a) 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 the risk of electric shock.
b) 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.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
d) 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.
e) 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.
1.3 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 influence 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 finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
d) 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.
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 connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.

1.4 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) 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.
d) 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.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the operation of the power tool. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) 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 those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
1.5 Battery tool use and care
a) Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting the battery pack. Inserting the battery
pack into power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
b) 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.
c) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs
may create a risk of injury and fire.
d) When the 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.
e) 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.
1.6 Service
a) Have your power tool repaired only by qualified personnel using original spare parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

During that time the tool must not be removed from
the strap.
If the LED lights green again, the sealing cycle is
finished.
The tool must not be removed from the strap as long as the cooling time is not
finished. Disregard of this regulation is causing insufficient seal efficiencies, which
can cause severe injuries.
6.7 Removing the tool
Pull up the handle lever,
pull the tool right / backwards and off the strapping.
6.8 Seal - Control
A regular control of the seal is necessary. The seal can be examined visually.
Make a seal, peel it apart and examine it as follows:
Correct seal
The seal must be completely welded over the whole width of the strap
on a length of ca. 19 mm. Minor quantities of fused plastic may
overflow on sides.
Welding time too short
The plastic strap is not welded over the whole width of the strap. The
seal efficiency is insufficient.
Warning! Straps with insufficient seal strength must be removed from
the package! Adjust the welding time (see 6.2.2).
Welding time too long
If the welding time is too long the straps are overheated. The fused
plastic overflows on both sides of the straps. The seal efficiency is
affected.
Warning! Straps with insufficient seal strength must be removed from
the package! Adjust the welding time (see 6.2.2).
