Please read all the safety warnings and all instructions carefully before use. Failure to follow all the warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, re 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.
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 ammable 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
• Power tool plugs must match the ratings on the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contract 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 on a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an
RCD reduces 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 tried or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hand 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 nger 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.

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 of 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 tool out of the reach children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool of 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 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 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.
Servicing
Have your power tool serviced as required by a qualied repair person if replacement parts are required repair using only Jefferson
approved components. Contact your nearest Jefferson Dealer for further information.

• Avoid collecting paint on the scraper accessory (if included), as it may ignite. If necessary, carefully remove paint debris from
the scraper accessory using a knife.
• Do not use this tool to remove paint containing lead. The peelings, residue and vapors of paint may contain lead, which is
poisonous. Any pre-1960 building may have been painted in the past with paint containing lead and covered with additional
layers of paint.
• Once deposited on surfaces, hand to mouth contact can result in the ingestion of lead.
• Exposure even to low levels of lead can cause irreversible damage to the brain and nervous system. Young and unborn
children are particularly vulnerable.
• When removing paint., ensue that the work area is enclosed. Preferably wear a dust mask.
• Do not burn the paint. Use the scraper and keep the nozzle at leaf 25 mm away from the painted surface. When working in a
vertical direction, work downwards to prevent paint from falling into the tool and burning.
• Dispose of all paint debris safely and ensure that the work area is thoroughly cleaned after completing the work.
Stationary use
• This tool can also be used in stationary mode.
• Unfold the Hang Hook and place the tool onto the workbench.
• Secure the cable to prevent pulling the tool off the workbench.
• Carefully switch the tool on.
• Make sure that the nozzle always points away from you and any bystanders.
• Make sure not to drop anything into the nozzle.
Cool Down Period
The nozzle and accessory become very hot during use. Let them cool down before attempting to move or store the tool.
To reduce the cooling time, set the on/off switch to position [I] and let it run for a few minutes.
Switch the tool off and let it cool down for at least 30 minutes.
