ƽ Danger
Risk of explosion!
Do not spray flammable liquids.
If the appliance is used in hazardous
areas (e.g. filling stations) the corre-
sponding safety provisions must be ob-
served.
ƽ Danger
Long hours of using the appliance can
cause circulation problems in the
hands on account of vibrations.
It is not possible to specify a generally
valid operation time, since this de-
pends on several factors:
–
Proneness to blood circulation defi-
ciencies (cold, numb fingers).
–
Low ambient temperature. Wear
warm gloves to protect hands.
–
A firm grip impedes blood circula-
tion.
–
Continuous operation is worse than
an operation interrupted by pauses.
In case of regular, long-term operation
of the device and in case of repeated
occurrence of the symptoms (e.g. cold,
numb fingers) please consult a physi-
cian.
Caution
Clean engines only at places with cor-
responding oil separators (environ-
mental safety).
Risk of blocking. Place the nozzles in
the accessory compartment with their
joint pointing upward.

sure switch. The motor starts up only
