18. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting
tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools with sharp cutting edge are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
19. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the tool ser-
viced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
20. Use only accessories that are recom-
mended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for
one tool may create a risk of injury when
used on another tool.
Service
21. Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or main-
tenance performed by unqualified personnel
may result in a risk of injury.
22. When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in
the Maintenance section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance instructions may create a risk of
shock or injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES USB025-2

repeated use) replace strict adherence to cordless impact
wrench safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly,
you can suffer serious personal injury.

when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a “live” wire will also make

operating condition, because it does not
have to be plugged into an electrical out-
let.
3. Wear ear protectors.
4. Check the socket carefully for wear,
cracks or damage before installation.
5. Hold the tool firmly.
6. Always be sure you have a firm footing.
