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 and/or
the battery pack 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. 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) This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
i) Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
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.
b) If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer,
its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
