|
| that have the switch on invites accidents. |
| d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench | |
|
| or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. |
| e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables | |
| f) | 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 clothes, jewelry or long hair can be |
|

4) Power tool use and 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. |
| c) 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. |
| 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 toolʼs |
|
| operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents |
| f) | are caused by poorly maintained power tools. |
| 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 different from those intended could |
|
| result in a hazardous situation. |
5) Service | ||
| a) 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. |
