erate sparks that could ignite the dusts or vapours.
Keep children and other persons away when work-
ing with the electric riveter. If distracted, you may
lose control over the riveter.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

The plug of the electric riveter must fit properly into
the plug socket. The plug must not be modified in
any way. Do not use adapter plugs in conjunction
with earthed electric riveters. Non-modified plugs
and matching plug sockets reduce the risk of an
electric shock.
Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces such
as those of pipes, heaters, cookers and refrigera-
tors. There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed.
Keep electric riveters away from water or rain. The
ingress of water into an electric riveter increases
the risk of an electric shock.
Do not misuse the cable, e.g. for carrying the elec-
tric riveter, for hanging up the riveter or for pulling
the plug out of the plug socket. Keep the cable
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving equip-
ment parts. Damaged or twisted cables increase
the risk of an electric shock.
When using an electric riveter outdoors, use only
extension leads that are also suitable for outdoor
use. The use of an extension lead that is suitable
for outdoor use reduces the risk of an electric
shock.
If the use of the electric riveter in a damp environ-
ment is unavoidable, use a residual current circuit
breaker. Use of a residual current circuit breaker
reduces the risk of an electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

Be careful, pay attention to what you are
doing and work sensibly when using an
electric riveter.
Do not use an electric riveter when you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
One moment of inattention when working with the
electric riveter can result in serious injuries.
Wear personal protective equipment and
use protective goggles at all times. The
wearing of personal protective equipment
such as a dust mask, non-slip safety
shoes, a helmet or ear protectors, depending on
the type and application of the electric riveter,

educes the risk of injuries.
Avoid inadvertent starting of the electric riveter. En-
sure that the electric riveter is switched off before
connecting it to the power supply and/or attaching
the battery (F), picking it up or carrying it. Having
your finger on the trigger when carrying the electric
riveter, or connecting the electric riveter to the pow-
er supply switched on can lead to accidents.
Remove the setting tools or wrenches before
switching on the electric riveter. A tool or wrench
connected to a rotating part of the electric riveter
can result in injuries.
Avoid abnormal body postures.
Ensure a secure footing and maintain your balance
at all times. This will enable you to control the
electric riveter in unexpected situations.
Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or
long hair can become entangled in moving parts.
If the stud collectors can be fitted, ensure
that they are properly connected and
used correctly. By-passing of the safety
switch is prohibited.
OPERATION AND HANDLING OF
THE ELECTRIC RIVETER
Do not overload the tool. Use the proper
electric riveter for your work. You will
work better and safer in the specified
performance range by using the
appropriate electric riveter.
Do not use an electric riveter whose trigger is
defective. An electric riveter that can no longer
be switched on or off is dangerous and must be
repaired.
Remove the plug from the plug socket
and/or remove the battery (F) before
making adjustments to the tool, changing
accessories or putting the tool away. This
precautionary measure prevents any unintentional
starting of the electric riveter.
Keep the electric riveter out of the reach of children
when not in use. Do not allow persons to use the
tool who are not familiar with it or who have not
read these instructions. Electric riveters are dan-
