GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to heed warnings and follow
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Keep safety warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the safety warnings refers to your mains operated
(corded) power tool or battery- operated (cordless) power tool.
2.1 WORKING AREA
• Keep working area clean and well lit. Untidy and dark areas can lead to accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in potentially explosive surroundings, for example, in the presence of inflammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders at a distance when operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control of it.
2.2 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 adapter plugs with earthed
power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of an electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, kitchen ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of an electric shock if your body is earthed.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. If water gets inside a power tool, it will increase the risk of an
electric shock.
• Do not damage the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of an electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable for outdoor use. Using a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of an electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a power supply protected by a residual current
device (RCD). Using an RCD reduces the risk of an electric shock.

2.3 PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool
when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention when operating
a power tool may result in serious personal injury.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Using safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection whenever it is needed will reduce the risk of personal injury.
• Avoid accidental starts. Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting the plug. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools when the switch is in the on position makes accidents
more likely.
• Remove any adjusting keys or spanners before turning on the power tool. A spanner or key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not reach out too far. Keep your feet firmly on the ground at all times. This will enable you retain control over the
power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from the power
tool. Loose clothes, jewelery or long hair can become entangled in the moving parts..
• If there are devices for connecting dust extraction and collection facilities, please ensure that they are attached and
used correctly. Using such devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
2.4 POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
• Do not expect the power tool to do more than it can. Use the correct power tool for what you want to do. A power
tool will achieve better results and be safer if used in the context for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch cannot turn it on and off. A power tool with a broken switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store power tools, when not in use, out of the reach of children and do not allow people who are not familiar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate it. Power tools are potentially dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or jammed moving parts, breakages or any other feature that might
affect the operation of the power tool. If it is damaged, the power tool must be repaired. Many accidents are caused
by using poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam
and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and cutting tools, 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 which needs
to be done. Using a power tool in ways for which it was not intended can lead to potentially hazardous situations.

PREPARATION FOR OPERATION
We recommend the use of a pre-filter and suction equipment consisting of a suction hose, a suction
strainer and a non-return valve. This will prevent damage to the pump from stones and other solid foreign
objects.
A) GENERAL INFORMATION
The water to be pumped must be clean and clear. Only fine suspended matter is admissible, which may
occur in every normal garden pond. Coarser impurities (leaves, dirt, pebbles etc) clog the suction port of
block the pump.
B) SUCTION PORT
Screw a suction hose onto the suction port. if necessary, seal the screw connection with sealing tape.
The suction hose should feature a suction valve. If the suction valve cannot be used, a non-return valve
should be installed.
Lay the suction hose so that it inclines upwards from the water intake point towards the product. The
suction hose should not lie higher than the product, otherwise air bubbles will form, which will make it
difficult to pump the water.
Make sure that the suction valve of the suction hose is deep enough in the water intake point (at least
10cm below the water surface) so that the product does not run dry when the water level drops.
Make sure that the suction port is completely sealed. Otherwise air is drawn in instead of water.
C) PRESSURE PORT
The pressure hose should be able to withstand the maximum discharge rate of the pump.
If you want to use a pressure hose featuring a quick-release connector, screw the hose adapter into the
pressure port.
Connect a pressure hose to the pressure port.
Open existing locking mechanisms (e.g. spray nozzles, valves) This allows the air present in the suction
line to escape.
