Tool Use and Care
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work byhand or against your body is unstable and
may lead to lossof control.
•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 power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting thetool accidentally.
•Store idle tools out of the reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are 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 orbinding 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.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may
be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when
used on another tool.
Service
•Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnelcould resultin a riskof injury.
•When servicing a tool, use only identical replace-
ment parts. Follow instructions inthe Maintenance
section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or
failure to follow Maintenance Instructionsmay create a
risk of electric shock or injury.
