ensure these are connected and properly
used.

principles.

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.

Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off.

tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.

source and/or remove the battery pack,
if detachable, from the power tool before

accessories, or storing power tools.

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.

of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.

untrained users.

Maintain power tools and accessories.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power
