Maintain tools with care

.  Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow

instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and, if damaged,
have them repaired by an authorized technician. The handles must be kept clean, dry, and free from oil
and grease at all times.

Avoid unintentional starting

.  Be sure the switch is in the Off position when not in use and before

plugging in.

11.

Stay alert

.  Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not operate any tool when you are tired.

12.

Check for damaged parts

.  Before using any tool, any par t that appears damaged should be carefully

checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment
and binding of moving parts; any broken parts or mounting fixtures; and any other condition that may
affect proper operation. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified
technician. Do not use the tool if any switch does not turn On and Off properly.

Guard against electric shock

.  Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,

ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.
