1 GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING! Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock,
fire and/ or serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains
operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
1.1 Work area
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools 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.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
1.2 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. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce the 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 abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suit-able for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
1.3 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 influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in 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.
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 related hazards.

1.4 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 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 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 operation of the power tool. If damaged, 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 instructions and in
the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, 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 situation.
1.5 Service
a) Have your power tool repaired only by qualified personnel using original spare parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
2 SAFETY RULES FOR STRAPPING TOOLS
2.1 Joints
You are fully responsible to review the joints made by your tool. Become familiar with the seal
control and seal adjustment described in this operation manual.
Misformed joints may not secure the load and could cause serious injury. Never handle or ship any load
with improperly formed joints.
2.2 Dispensing strap
Only dispense strap from a dispenser specifically designed for strap.
Tuck strap end back into dispenser when not in use.
2.3 Strap warnings
Never use strap as a means of pulling or lifting loads. Failure to follow these warnings can result in
severe personal injury.

2.4 Strap breakage hazard
Improper operation of the tool, excessive tensioning, using strap not recommended for this tool or sharp
corners on the load can result in a sudden loss of strap tension or in strap breakage during tensioning,
which could result in the following:
A sudden loss of balance causing you to fall.
Both tool and strap flying violently towards your face.
Note as follows:
If the load corners are sharp, use edge protectors.
Place the strap correctly around a properly positioned load.
Positioning yourself in-line with the strap, during tensioning and sealing, can result in severe
personal injury from flying strap or tool. When tensioning or sealing, position yourself to one
side of the strap and keep all bystanders away.
Use the correct strap quality, strap width, strap gauge and strap tensile strength
recommended in this manual for your tool. Using strap not recommended for this tool can
result in strap breakage during tensioning.
2.5 Cutting tensioned strap
When cutting strapping, use the proper strapping cutter and keep other personnel and yourself at a
safe distance from the strap. Always stand to side of the strap, away from the direction the loosened
strap end will fly. Use only cutters designed for strap and never hammers, pliers, hacksaws, axes, etc.
