•Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correcttool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
•Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any 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 acces- sories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of startingthe tool acciden- tally.
•Store idle tools out of the reach of children and
other untrained persons. Toolsare dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
•Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control,
•Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool'soperation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many acci- dents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
•Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessoriesthat
may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool.
