PERSONAL SAFETY
– cont’d
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source picking up
or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools
with your finger on the switch or energizing
power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on.
A
wrench or key that is left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
This enables
better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts.
Loose clothing, jewelry or long hair
can be a safety hazard.
If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure they are
connected properly and used.
Use of the
dust collection system can reduce dust-
related hazards.
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 when used at the working
rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off.
Any power
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 power
tools.
Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
Persons unfamiliar with the power tool
should read this manual first before
operating the power tool.
If needed,
contact your True Value retailer for
assistance.
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.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained power 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 condition.
SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts.
This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
