TOOL USE AND CARE
•
Secure the work piece.
Use clamp or other practical way to hold the work piece to a stable
platform. Holding the work piece by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
• Do not force the power tool.
The tool will perform the job better and safer at the feed rate for
which it is designed. Forcing the tool could possibly damage the tool and may result in personal
injury.
• Use the correct power tool for the job.
Don’t force the tool or attachment to do a job for
which it is not designed.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired or replaced by an authorized service center
.
• Turn power tool off, and disconnect the plug
from the power source and/or battery pack from
the power tool before making any adjustments, changing the accessories, or storing the tools
.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of an accidental start up which may cause
personal injury
.
• Store idle tool out of reach of children and other inex
p
erienced persons.
It is dangerous in
the hand of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools with care.
Check for proper alignment and binding of moving parts,
component breaks, and any other conditions that may affect the tool’s operation. A guard or any
other part that is damaged must be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center
to avoid risk of personal injury.
• Use recommended accessories.
Using accessories and attachments not recommended by
the manufacturer or intended for use on this type tool may cause damage to the tool or result in
personal injury to the user. Consult the operator’s manual for recommended accessories.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control
.
• Feed the work piece in the correct direction and speed.
Feed the work piece into a blade,
cutter, or abrasive surface against the direction of the cutting tool’s direction of rotation only.
Incorrectly feeding the work piece in the same direction may cause the work piece to be thrown
out at high speed.
• Never leave the tool running unattended, turn the power off.
Do not leave the tool until it
comes to a complete stop.
• Never start the power tool when any rotating component is in contact with the work
piece.
