Power Tool Use & Care
a)
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
b)
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 and/or the battery
pack 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

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

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier
to control

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
