TOOL USE AND CARE
13.Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the work- piece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
14.Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The cor- rect tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
15.Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dan- gerous and must be repaired.
16.Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or off position before making any adjustments, changing accesso- ries, or storing the tool. Such pre- ventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
17.Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained per- sons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
18.When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal ob- jects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery termi- nals together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
19.Maintain tools with care. Keep cut- ting tools sharp and clean. Prop- erly maintained tools with sharp cut- ting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
20.Check for misalignment or bind- ing of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “Do not use” until repaired.
21.Use only accessories that are rec- ommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may cre- ate a risk of injury when used on an- other tool.
SERVICE
22.Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair person- nel. Service or maintenance per- formed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.
23.When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Fol- low instructions in the Mainte- nance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to fol- low Maintenance Instructions may cre- ate a risk of shock or injury.
