Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool . Use the 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.

detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools . Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.

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.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean . Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc . in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed . Use of the
power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease .

where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord . Cutting
accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform . Holding the workpiece by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
