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 can
-
not be controlled with the switch is danger-
ous and must be repaired.
c.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the power tool before making any ad-
justments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the power tool accidentally.
d.
Keep unused electric tools out of the reach of
children.
Do not let people use the electric tool who are not
familiar with it or who have not read these instruc-
tions. Electric tools are dangerous if they are used
by inexperienced people.
e.
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 dam
-
aged, 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 electric tools, insertion tools, etc. ac-
cording to these instructions.
Take the working conditions and the activity to be
carried out into consideration.Using electric tools
for applications other than the intended uses can
lead to dangerous situations.
h.
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.
Service
a.
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replace-
ment parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
