• 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.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewel-
lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used.
Use of these devices can reduce dust-
related hazards.
Power tool use and care
• 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.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that can-
not be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
• 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.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to oper-
ate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-
ment 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.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• 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.
Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replace-
ment parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
Security notes for stirrers
• Never use the power tool with a damaged
cable. Do not touch a damaged cable and pull
out the power plug immediately.
Damaged
cables increase the risk of electric shock.
• Use the additional handles supplied with the
unit. Loss of control may lead to injuries.
• When working, hold the power tool firmly with
both hands and ensure you have a stable
footing.
The power tool can be guided in a safer
fashion when you use two hands.
• Keep the handles dry and free of grease.
Slippery handles can lead to accidents.
• Always comply with the all applicable domes-
tic and international safety, health, and work-
ing regulations.
Inform yourself before you start
work about the regulations that apply at the site
of the device.
• Do not mix solvent or substances containing
solvents with a flashpoint below 21 °C or liq-
uids of risk class A1 (combustible, health
risk).
Risk of fire due to formation of sparks!
• Immediately pull out the plug and have the
power tool checked by a specialist if it falls
into the substances you are mixing.
Sub-
stances entering into the power tool may cause
damages which could lead to an electric shock.
• Observe any warnings from the manufacturer of
the substances you are mixing.
• Only start up and slow down the device when it is
inside a mixing container.

removed or covered. Information on the device
that is no longer legible must be replaced imme-
diately.
