3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon 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 mo-
ment of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
b) Wear personal protective equipment and always
safety goggles. Protective equipment such as a dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, safety helmet or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position before connecting to power
source and/or rechargeable battery, picking up or
carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your fin-
ger on the switch or energising power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting tools or spanners/keys be-
fore 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) Avoid abnormal postures. 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 jew-
ellery. Keep your hair and clothing 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 dust ex-
traction can reduce dust-related hazards.
h) 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.
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 con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous and must be re-
paired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the
power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such precautionary measures reduce the risk of start-
ing the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the pow-
er tool or these instructions to operate the power
tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of un-
trained users.
e) Maintain power tools and attachments. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, break-
age of parts and any other condition that may af-

fect the power tool's operation. 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 main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use electric tools, insertion tools, etc. according
to these instructions. Take into account the work-
ing conditions and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations different from those in-
tended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) 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.
5) Service
a) Only have your power tool repaired by qualified
specialists and only with original spare parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is main-
tained.
5.1 Special safety instructions
a) When performing work during which the tool at-
tachment can meet with concealed power lines or
its own connection cable, hold the power tool by
the insulated gripping surfaces. Contact with a live
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool
live and could give the operator an electric shock.
b) Fasten and secure the workpiece to a stable base
using clamps or other means. If the workpiece is
held only by hand or against the body, it remains un-
stable, which may result in a loss of control.
c) Wait until the electrical tool has come to a stand-
still before setting it down. The tool attachment can
get caught and this can lead to loss of control over the
electric tool.
d) To protect the tools used, do not place the product on
hard surfaces.
e) Risk of injury due to sharp cutting edges of the revers-
ible blades. Pay attention to the rotating cutter head!
Please note that the motor and therefore the cutter
head of your paint remover will still be running after
switching off!
f) Turn or replace any reversible blades that have be-
come blunt in good time. Worn cutting edges on the
reversible blades increase the risk of kickback and re-
duce the quality of the paint removal work.
g) Check the material to be processed for foreign objects
such as nails, screws etc. and remove them.
h) The workpiece must be firmly supported and secured
against slipping, e.g. using clamping fixtures.
i) Guide the product in a stable and even movement.
Avoid jerky or overly aggressive movements to pre-
vent uncontrolled behaviour of the product.
j) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
