e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f)
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g) 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 re-
lated hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The cor-
rect power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) 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.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamil-
iar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f)
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instruc-
tions, 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 sit-
uation.
5) Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical re-
placement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Special safety instructions
Do not use the electrical device if it is damaged. There is a danger of accident.
Only connect the electrical device to an outlet with protected earth.
Only touch the electrical device on the handle (1) when it is plugged into an outlet. The heating
plate (7), heating jack (8), heating arbours (9) as well as the metal parts between the heating el-
ement and the plastic handle (1) reach operating temperatures of up to 290°C. Touching these
parts can cause severe burns.
Let the electrical device cool down for a long time after unplugging before touching the metal
parts. Touching parts that are still hot during the cooling phase can cause severe burns. The
electrical device takes a long time to cool down after unplugging.
Make sure that you keep your hands far enough away from the end of the pipe, the moulding,
the heating plate (7), heating jack (8) and heating arbours (9) or wear suitable gloves when
welding. The pipes and mouldings to be welded, the heating element and the heating tools get
hot during welding and can cause severe burns. The weld connection stays very hot for a long
time after completion.
Do not change the heating jack (8) and heating arbours (9) until they have completely cooled
down. Touching parts which are still hot causes severe burns.
Protect third persons from the hot electrical device and hot welded connections. Touching the
hot parts causes severe burns.
