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

unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving 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.

cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) 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 other than those intended could result
in a hazardous situation.
