3. 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.
4. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
5. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
6. 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.
7. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect
the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
8. 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.
9. Always use safety chain. Mounting can release.
SERVICE
1. Tools service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
2. 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 electric
shock or injury.
