For your safety.
Read all safety warnings and all
WARNING
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 this power tool before you have
thoroughly read and completely understood this
Instruction Manual and the enclosed "General
Safety Instructions". The documents mentioned
should be kept for later use and enclosed with the
power tool, should it be passed on or sold.
Please also observe the relevant national industrial
safety regulations.
Intended use of the power tool:
Hand-guided oscillator for sanding small surfaces, cor-
ners and edges, for sawing thin parts of steel sheet,
wood and plastic, for scraping, polishing, rasping, cut-
ting and separating without water in weather-protected
environments, using the application tools and accesso-
ries recommended by Berner.
In environments subject to interference, a reduction of
the operating quality is possible; this can include tem-
porary failure, temporary reduction of the function or
the intended operating behaviour, for the correction of
which intervention by the operator is required.
Special safety instructions.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
because the cutting tool could cut into the machine's
power cord. Contact with a "live" wire make exposed
metal parts of tool "live" and shock the operator.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
sup-port the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body leaves it
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
Do not use accessories which are not specifically
designed and recommended by the power tool manu-
facturer. Safe operation is not ensured merely because
an accessory fits your power tool.
Grasp the power tool in such a safe manner that your
body never comes into contact with the application tool,
especially while working with application tools such as
saw blades or other blades pointed toward the grasping
range. Touching sharp tips or cutting edges can lead to
injuries.
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. Where appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of
stop-ping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The
eye protection must be capable of stopping flying
debris generated by various operations. The dust mask
or res-pirator must be capable of filtrating particles
generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to
high inten-sity noise may cause hearing loss.
Do not direct the power tool against yourself, other
per-sons or animals. Danger of injury from sharp or
hot application tools.
Do not rivet or screw any name-plates or signs onto the
power tool. If the insulation is damaged, protection
against an electric shock will be ineffective.
Clean the ventilation openings on the power tool at reg-
ular intervals using non-metal tools. The blower of the
motor draws dust into the housing. An excessive accu-
mulation of metallic dust can cause an electrical hazard.
After working gypsum-containing materials: Blow out
the ventilation openings of the power tool and the
switch element with dry and oil-free compressed air.
Otherwise, gypsum-containing dust can settle in the
power tool housing and switch element, which can
harden in connection with humidity. This can impair the
switching mechanism.
Use and handling of the battery (battery pack).
These safety warnings apply only for Berner 18 V
batteries BBPB.
Use only the battery: Berner 18 V BBPB

Batteries must not be disassembled, opened or reduced
in size. Do not subject batteries to mechanical impact
or shock. Hazardous vapours and fluid can escape in
case of damage and improper use of the battery. The
vapours can irritate the respiratory system. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause skin irritations or
burns.
In case of skin contact with battery fluid, rinse
immedi-ately with plenty of water. In case of eye
contact with battery fluid, wash out the eye with clean
water and immediately seek a doctor for treatment!
When the battery fluid has come into contact with
objects close by, check the respective components.
Avoid skin contact by wearing protective gloves. Clean
the parts with dry household paper or replace the parts
if necessary. Escaping vapours can irritate the respira-
tory system. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
skin irritations or burns.
