WARNING:
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with this appliance. Fail-
ure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

The term "appliance" in the warnings refers to your mains-

appliance.

WORK AREA SAFETY

 Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
 Do not operate appliances in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust. Appliances create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
 Keep children and bystanders away while operating
an appliance. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

 Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body
is earthed or grounded.
 Do not expose appliances to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering an appliance will increase the risk of
electric shock.
 Use this product only with batteries and chargers listed
in tool/appliance/battery pack/charger correlation
supplement 987000-432.

PERSONAL SAFETY

 Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating an appliance. Do not use an
appliance while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating appliances may result in serious personal
injury.
 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
injuries.
 Keep all parts of your body away from any moving
part.
 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.

energizing appliances that have the switch on invites
accidents.
 Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the appliance on. A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the appliance may result in personal injury.
 Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the appliance
in unexpected situations.
 Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts or drawn into air vents.
 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.
 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.
 Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
appliance in unexpected situations.
APPLIANCE USE AND CARE
 Do not force the appliance. Use the correct appliance
for your application. The correct appliance will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
 Do not use the appliance if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any appliance that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
 Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the
appliance before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing appliances. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the appliance
accidentally.
 Store idle appliances out of the reach of children and
do not allow children or persons unfamiliar with the
appliance or these instructions to operate the power
tool. Appliances are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
 Maintain appliances and accessories. 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 appliances.
 Inspect unit before each use for loose fasteners and
damaged or missing parts. Correct before using the
patio cleaner. Failure to do so can cause serious injury.
