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.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons  

  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.
f)  Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp  

  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.

5) SERVICE
