▶ Do not operate the product in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
▶ Keep children and other persons clear when the product is in use. Distractions can cause you to
lose control of the product.
▶ Always be aware of your surroundings while wearing the product and make sure that there is
no-one in your vicinity. You can cause damage and injuries with the boom.
Personal safety
▶ Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating the power tool may result in serious personal injury.
▶ Avoid accidental starting. Make sure that the product is switched off before connecting the battery
and before you don or wear the product. Non-compliance with this precaution can lead to accidents.
▶ Avoid unaccustomed body positions. Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. This will
allow you to control the power tool better, even in unexpected situations.
▶ Make sure you have a safe stance for using the attached power tool. A sudden break-through can
affect your balance!
▶ At all times, be prepared to take the full weight of the attached power tool. In unfavorable cases the
cable could snap or the motor/brake fail, affecting your balance.
▶ Wear suitable work clothes. Do not wear jewelry or loose clothing. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be snagged by moving parts.
▶ When using the product, always wear safety footwear, a hard hat and eye protection. Supplement
your personal protective equipment with all the elements necessitated by the attached power tool (e.g.
ear protection, dust mask).
▶ It is essential to follow the instructions for correctly donning the product. Buckle all the straps. If
you do not fit the straps correctly, the weight to be borne cannot be transferred appropriately and can
therefore lead to injuries.
▶ Do not lull yourself into a false sense of security and do not flout the safety rules for power tools,
even if you are familiar with the power tool after using it many times. Careless handling could cause
serious injury within fractions of a second.
▶ Take the product off when you are not using it and when you are going to take a break. Wearing
the product when it is not needed can lead to accidents and injuries.
▶ Take the product off if you experience severe back pains. Excessive wearing of the product can lead
to bodily harm.
▶ Do not use the product in combination with a safety harness.
▶ Do not work near a drop edge when using the product.
Using and handling the product
▶ Always hold the attached power tool firmly with both hands on the grips provided. Bring your arms
into a position in which you can absorb the kickback forces.
▶ Do not use the product if it has a faulty switch. Any product that cannot be controlled with the switch
is dangerous and must be repaired.
▶ Maintain the product carefully. Check that moving parts operate satisfactorily and do not jam, and
make sure that no parts are broken or damaged in such a way that the product might no longer
function correctly. Have damaged parts repaired before using the product. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained products.
▶ Remove the battery before making adjustments, changing accessories, or taking off the product.
This precaution reduces the risk of the power tool starting accidentally.
▶ Use the product and accessories only when they are in perfect working order.
▶ Never tamper with or modify the product or accessories in any way.
▶ Risk of injury by falling tools and/or accessories. Before starting work, check that the battery and
installed accessories are secure.
▶ Risk of injury if the power tool falls. Before starting work, check that the attached power tool is secure.
▶ Do not exceed the permissible weight (see "Technical data") for an attached power tool.
▶ Do not unreel the cable further than from the boom to the ground. If you unreel the cable further, at
some point it will be reeled in again and wound in the wrong direction. In this condition, the EXO­T­22
will be unable to bear the weight of a power tool attached to the cable.
▶ Use power tools, accessories, insert tools, etc. only as described in this manual. Take the working
conditions and the work to be performed into account. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
▶ Do not use the product for lifting loads.
