WARNING:
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this appliance.
Failure to
follow all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “appliance” in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) appliance or battery-operated (cordless)
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.
Carrying appliances with your finger on the switch or
energizing appliances that have the switch on invites ac-
cidents.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES

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 mov-
ing 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 ap-
pliance 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
sweeper. Failure to do so can cause serious injury.

Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in ac-
cordance 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.
