Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
Proper footing
and balance enables better control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat or hearing protection must
be used under applicable conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
Use clamps or other 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 switch does
not turn it ON or OFF.
Any tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power
source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories or storing the
tool.
Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children
and other untrained persons.
Tools are
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 may be
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.
