Ŷ

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.

Ŷ

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

Ŷ

If operating a power tool in 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 

Ŷ

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.

Ŷ

Use personal protective equipment.

Always wear eye 

protection.

 Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-

skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for 
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injury.

Ŷ

Prevent unintentional starting.

Ensure the switch is in the 

off-position before connecting to power source and/or 
battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. 

Carrying power 

tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools 
that have the switch on invites accidents.

Ŷ

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.

Ŷ

Do not overreach.

Keep proper footing and balance at all 

times. 

This enables better control of the power in unexpected 

situations.

Ŷ

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.

Ŷ

If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction 
and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and 
properly used.

 Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related 

hazards.

Ŷ

Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools 
allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety 
principles. 

A careless action can cause severe injury within a 

fraction of a second.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE 

Ŷ

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. 

Ŷ

Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on 
and off. 

Any power tool that cannot be controlled with switch is 

dangerous and must be repaired.

Ŷ

Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the 
battery pack from the power tool before making any 
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power 
tools.

 Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of 

starting the power tool accidentally.

Ŷ

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.

Ŷ

Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding 
of moving parts, breakage of parts and any 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.

Ŷ

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. 

Properly maintained 

cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and 
are easier to control.

Ŷ

Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in 
accordance with these instructions, 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.

Ŷ

Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean, and free 
from oil and grease.

 Slippery handles and grasping surfaces 

do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in 
unexpected situations.

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE 

Ŷ

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.

Ŷ

Use power tools only with specifically designated battery 
packs.

 Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of 

injury and fire.

Ŷ

When 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.

Ŷ

Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from 
the battery; avoid contact.

lf contact accidentally occurs, 

flush with water. lf liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek 
medical help. 

Liquid ejected from the battery may cause 

irritation or burns.

Ŷ

Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or 
modified.

 Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit 

unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of 
injury.

Ŷ

Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive 
temperature.

 Exposure to fire or temperature above 130’C may 

cause explosion.

Ŷ

Follow all charging instructions and do not charge 
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range 
specified in the instructions.

 Charging improperly or at 

temperatures outside the specified range may damage the 
battery and increase the risk of fire.

SERVICE

Ŷ

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person 
using only identical replacement parts. 

This will ensure that 

safety of the power tool is maintained.

Ŷ

Never service damaged battery packs. 

Service of battery 

packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or 
authorised service providers.

BACKPACK SPRAYER SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS

Ŷ
