SPECIFIC SAFETY AND WARNINGS
General safety information for electrical scrapers
• Do not use any accessory that has not been provided
and recommended by the manufacturer specially for this
electrical tool. Just because the accessories can be fixed on
your electrical tool, no secured use is ensured.
• Do not scrape damp materials and do not use on a damp
surface. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
• Never work towards your body. Keep other people away
from the workplace when using. The sharp edges of the
tools may cause injuries.
• Do not treat the surface to be processed with liquids
containing solvents. The heating of the material during
scraping may result in poisonous vapors.
• Be particularly careful when using the blades. The tools
are very sharp and there is a risk of injury.
• Always route the cable away from the powered tool from
the rear. Damage to the cable as caused by a sharp tool may
result in an electric shock.
• When working, always wear goggles and protective
gloves. The splintering and flying of material elements may
cause injuries.
• Only guide the power tool to the work piece when it is
switched on. Otherwise there is a risk of kickback when the
inserted tool becomes jammed in the work piece.
Additional safety notes
• 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.
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live"
wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and shock the operator.
• Avoid uncontrolled restarting. Switch the tool off when the
power supply is interrupted, for example, by a power failure or
pulling the plug.
• 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.
• Prevent overheating of the device and the work piece.
Excess heat may damage the tool and the device.
• Shortly after being used, the tool may be very hot. Allow a
hot tool to cool down. Touching a hot tool may cause burns.
• Never clean a hot tool with flammable liquids. There is a
risk of fire and explosion.
• Keep the handles dry and free of grease. Slippery handles
can lead to accidents.
• Always comply with the all applicable domestic and
international safety, health, and working regulations.
Inform yourself before you start work about the regulations
that apply at the site of the device.
• Symbols appearing on your device may not be removed
or covered. Signs on the device that are no longer legible
must be replaced immediately.
Read and observe the instructions for use before using the
product for the first time.
