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 con- trolled 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, chang- ing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety mea- sures 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 oper- ate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e.Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of mov- ing parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may af- fect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool re- paired 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 condi- tions and the work to be per- formed. 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.
