POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

1.

Do not force the power tool. 

Use the correct accessories for your application. The 

correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate which it was designed 
for.

2.

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.

3.

Disconnect the plug from the power source before changing accessories, 
or storing power tools.

 Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of 

starting the power tool accidentally.

Store idle tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons 
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate it. 

Power tools 

are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

5.

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.

6.

Use the power tool and accessories in accordance with these instructions 
and in the manner intended, taking into account the working conditions 
and the work to be performed

. Use of the power tool for operations 

different from intended could result in a hazardous situation.

7. The performance of this tool may vary, depending upon variations in line 

voltage. Extension cable usage may also affect performance.

SERVICE

1.

Have your power tool serviced by qualified service personnel using only identical 
replacement parts.

 

This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
