INSTRUCTION

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

• Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool.
• Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/ or serious injury.
• Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
• The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety

•  Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
•  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.
•  Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

•  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 risk of electric shock.
•  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.
•  Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
•  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.
•  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.
•  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.

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 power tools may result in serious personal injury.
•  Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
•  Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, 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.
•  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.
•  Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
•  Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
•  If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust related hazards.
•  Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

Power tool use and care

•  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.
•  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.
•  Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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.
•  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.
•  Maintain power tools and accessories. 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.
•  Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
•  Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, 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.
•  Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Battery tool use and care

•  Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
•  Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
•  When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
•  Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
•  Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
•  Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130°C may cause explosion.
•  Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

Service

• 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.
•  Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.

Safety Instructions for Air Pumps

• When using the air pump, take care not to exceed the permitted pressure of the product to be inflated. The product may burst or rupture and you may injure yourself.
• The hose and metal parts of the adapters can overheat when working for long periods.
• Schedule breaks when working for long periods and leave the parts to cool down if necessary.
•  Do not leave the air pump unsupervised.
•  Avoid starting the air pump unintentionally before the pressure has been adjusted on the pump and the pump has been correctly connected to the product to be inflated.
• The pump will only stop once it has reached the preset pressure or the maximum pressure.
•  Use a calibrated measuring tool to check the pressure of your product after inflating it. An incorrect pressure may lead to dangerous situations, e.g. your car handling differently.
•  Do not allow children to use the air pump. Do not direct the air hose or air flow at people’s or animals’ mouths, ears or eyes and do not blow any dust or other particles at people or animals. This can lead to injury.
•  Stop using the air pump if the indicator or other parts are defective. The permitted pressure of the product to be inflated could be exceeded and this may lead to dangerous situations.
• Protect the air pump from heat, e.g. from continuous sunlight, fire, water, and moisture. There is a risk of explosion.

Technical Data

Noise/Vibration Information

Noise emission values determined according to EN 62841‑1. Typically, the A-weighted sound pressure level of the power tool is 71 dB(A). Uncertainty K = 3 dB. The noise level when working can exceed the volume stated. Wear hearing protection! Vibration total values ah(triax vector sum) and uncertainty K determined according to EN 62841‑1: = 4 m/s2 , K = 1.5 m/s2 The vibration level and noise emission value given in these instructions have been measured in accordance with a standardised measuring procedure and may be used to compare power tools. They may also be used for a preliminary estimation of vibration and noise emissions. The stated vibration level and noise emission value represent the main applications of the power tool. However, if the power tool is used for other applications, with different application tools or is poorly maintained, the vibration level and noise emission value may differ. This may significantly increase the vibration and noise emissions over the total working period. To estimate vibration and noise emissions accurately, the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually being used should also be taken into account. This may significantly reduce vibration and noise emissions over the total working period. Implement additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration, such as servicing the power tool and application tools, keeping their hands warm, and organising workflows correctly.

Assembly

Battery Charging

•  Use only the power supplies listed in the technical data. Only these power supplies are matched to the lithium-ion battery of your air pump.
• Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure the maximum performance of the battery, use the power supply to fully charge the battery before first use.
• The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging process does not damage the battery.
• The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharge by “Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)”. A protective circuit switches the air pump off when the battery is drained.
•  Do not continue to press the on/off button after the air pump has automatically switched itself off due to an empty battery. This can damage the rechargeable battery.
• To charge the battery, connect the USB Type-C® port (16) to the power supply (15) via the USB cable (14). Plug the power supply into a plug socket.
• The charging process will begin and will be indicated by continuously filling bars in the battery charge indicator (d). The air pump cannot be used during charging
• When the charging process is complete, the battery charge indicator (d) will be continuously lit until the air pump is disconnected from the power supply.
• If you are not planning to use the air pump again soon, disconnect the power supply (15) from the mains.

Battery Charge Indicator
The battery charge indicator (d) in the display shows the battery’s state of charge:

Fitting/Changing the Adapter 

• Select the adapter best suited to the intended application:
•  Valve adapter (2), e.g. for many bike valves.
•  Ball needle adapter (3), e.g. for footballs.
•  Volume adapter (4), for small beach items or sporting goods, e.g. beach balls.
• Slide the lid off the adapter storage compartment (1) and remove the adapter.
• Screw the adapter fully into the pressure hose (9).
• For standard car tyre valves (sometimes also used on bikes), no adapter is required.

Operation

Switching On and Off

To switch the air pump on or off, press the on/off button (5). The last set target pressure is saved when switching off the pump. When no button on the air pump is pressed for approx. 3 minutes, the air pump automatically switches off to preserve battery life.
Switching the worklight on and off
To switch the worklight (12) on and off, press the change unit/worklight button (7) for approximately 1 second. Do not look directly into the worklight; it can blind you.
Changing the Unit of Measurement
For the pressure indicator, the units bar, psi and kPa are available. To change the unit of measurement, short press the change unit/worklight button (7) as many times as needed until the required unit of measurement appears in the unit of measurement indicator (a).

Inflation

• Fit the appropriate adapter to the pressure hose (9) if required. If present, remove the valve cap on the item to be inflated.
• Tighten the pressure hose (9) with or without the adapter on or in the valve. The current pressure in the connected item appears in the measured value indicator (b).
• Inflation with Automatic Switch-off (AUTOSTOP):
•  The last set pressure value appears in the target pressure indicator (e). When using for the first time (factory setting) or when the target pressure was previously deleted, “−−” appears in the indicator.
•  Setting or changing the target pressure: Press the reduce target pressure button (6) or increase target pressure button (10) as many times as needed until the required value is set in the target pressure indicator (e). The value will change more quickly if the buttons are pressed and held.
•  Press the pump button (11) to start the inflation process. You can still change the target pressure during the inflation process.
•  The inflation process will stop automatically as soon as the set target pressure is reached. The set target pressure is saved when switching off the air pump.

Inflation without Automatic Switch-off (MANUAL):

•  When inflating without automatic switch-off, there must be no set target pressure (“−−” in the target pressure indicator (e)). To delete a set target pressure, press and hold the reduce target pressure button (6) until “−−” is displayed.
•  Press the pump button (11) to start the inflation process. The current pressure in the connected item appears in the measured value indicator (b).
• When the required pressure is reached in the measured value indicator (b), press the pump button (11) again to end the inflation process.
