General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" used in the safety notes refers to mains operated power tools
(with power cable).
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the pres-
ence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distrac­
tions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmod­
ified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) 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.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not misuse the connecting cable to carry or hang up the power tool or
to pull the plug out of the socket. Keep the connecting cable away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving tool parts. Damaged or knotted cables
increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for

outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) 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 influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non­skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protec­
tion used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power
tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
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.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.
The correct 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 before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety meas­
ures 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
unfamiliar 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 tool's
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Use power tools, accessories and insert tools etc. according to these
instructions. Take the working conditions and activity being performed into
consideration. The use of power tools for purposes for which they are not
intended can lead to dangerous situations.
g) Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles prevent
safe handling and control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
Safety instructions for heating element
butt welding machines
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
● Do not use the machine if it is damaged. There is a danger of accident.
● Only touch the heating element butt welding unit (5) on the handle (16) or
the grip (18) when it is plugged into an outlet. The heating element as well
as the metal parts between the heating element and the plastic handle reach
operating temperatures of up to 300°C. Touching these parts can cause severe
burns.
● Let the heating element butt welding unit (5) 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 heating element butt
welding unit 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 and the heating element butt welding unit (5) or wear suitable gloves
when welding. The pipes and mouldings to be welded and the heating element
get hot during welding and can cause severe burns. The weld connection stays
very hot for a long time after completion.
● Protect third persons from the hot heating element butt welding unit (5)
and hot welded connections. Touching the hot parts causes severe burns.
● Do not accelerate the cooling process of the heating element butt welding
unit (5) by immersing it in liquid. There is a danger of injury from electric shock
and/or sudden spurting of the liquid. The heating element will also be damaged.
● Place the heating element butt welding unit (5) only in the bench support
(accessory) or on a fire-retardant base when you use the heating element
butt welding unit as a hand-held unit. Placing the hot heating element butt
welding unit on a base which is not fire-retardant or in the vicinity of inflammable
material can damage the surface and/or cause a fire.
