Use and maintenance of the power tool
-
Do not force the power tool. Use the right power tool for your application. The right power tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
-
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
-
Disconnect the power source plug and/or battery from the power tool before making
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
-
Store unused power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Electric tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
-
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the operation of the power tool. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
-
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
-
Use the power tool, accessories and tools etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be carried out. Use of the electric tool for
operations other than those intended could lead to a dangerous situation.
Service
Have your electric tool repaired by a qualified technician using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
