4 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.
4.1 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.
4.2 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.
4.3 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.

POWDP8031 EN
Copyright © 2020 VARO P a g e | 4www.varo.com
▪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 jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from the power tool. Loose clothes, jewellery 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.
4.4 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.
4.5 Service
▪Your power tool should be serviced by a qualified specialist using only standard
spare parts. This will ensure that it meets the required safety standards.
5 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERIES AND CHARGERS
Use only batteries and chargers applicable for this machine.

POWDP8031 EN
Copyright © 2020 VARO P a g e | 5www.varo.com
5.1 Batteries
▪Never attempt to open for any reason.
▪Do not store in locations where the temperature may exceed 40 °C.
▪Charge only at ambient temperatures between 4 °C and 40 °C.
▪When disposing of batteries, follow the instructions given in the section “Protecting
the environment”.
▪Do not cause short circuits. If connection is made between the positive (+) and
negative (-) terminal directly or via accidental contact with metallic objects, the battery
is short circuited and an intense current will flow causing heat generation which may
lead to casing rupture or fire.
▪Do not heat. If batteries are heated to above 100 °C, sealing and insulating
separators and other polymer components may be damaged resulting in electrolyte
leakage and/or internal short circuiting leading to heat generation causing rupture or
file. Moreover do not dispose of the batteries in fire, explosion and/or intense burning
may result.
▪Under extreme conditions, battery leakage may occur. When you notice liquid on the
battery, proceed as follows:
−Carefully wipe the liquid off using a cloth. Avoid skin contact.
−In case of skin or eye contact, follow the instructions below:
✓Immediately rinse with water. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice
or vinegar.
✓In case of eye contact, rinse abundantly with clean water for at least 10
minutes. Consult a physician.
Fire hazard! Avoid short-circuiting the contacts of a detached battery. Do
not incinerate the battery.
5.2 Chargers
