parts and any other condition that may affect
the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired 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 conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. Slippery handles do not allow for safe handling
and control of the tools in unexpected situations.
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.
b) That electrical tool does not require the use
of carbon brushes and does not need to be re-
placed during its lifetime.
c) If the power cord or the plug is damaged, the
cord or the plug must be replaced by the manu-
facturer, technical service or by a qualified per-
son to avoid the risk of an electrical shock.
