PERSONAL SAFETY – cont’d
Dress appropriately. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry.
Contain long hair. Keep hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothing, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the
power switch is OFF before inserting
battery pack.
Inserting the battery pack
with the switch ON or carrying tools with
your finger on the switch invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches
before turning the tool ON.
A wrench or
key that is left attached to a rotating part of
the tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
Proper footing
and balance enables better control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
TOOL USE AND CARE
Use clamps or another practical method
to secure and support the workpiece on
a stable platform.
Holding the work by
hand or against your body is unsafe and
may lead to loss of control.
Do not force the tool. Use the correct
tool for your application.
The correct tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it is designed.
Do not use the tool if the power switch
does not turn ON or OFF.
Any tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Remove the battery and turn the switch
OFF before making any adjustments,
changing accessories or storing the
tool.
Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of the tool starting
accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children
and other untrained persons.
Tools can
be dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting
tools sharp and clean.
Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier
to control.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using.
Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are
recommended by the manufacturer for
your model.
Accessories that are suitable
for one tool may become hazardous when
used on another tool.
SERVICE
Tool service must be performed only by
qualified personnel.
Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel could result in risk of injury.
When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions
in the Maintenance section of this
manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or
failure to follow Maintenance instructions
may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
