GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

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. 

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 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. 

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, 
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. 

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. 

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.
