Power tool use and care
•
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct 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 it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
•
Store idle 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. Power 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 power
tool´s operation. 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 cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
•
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
hazardous situations.
Service
•
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person unsing only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
Always use common sense
It is not possible to cover every conceivable situation you
can face. Always exercise care and use your common
sense. If you get into a situation where you feel unsafe,
stop and seek expert advice. Contact your dealer, service
agent or an experienced user. Do not attempt any task
that you feel unsure of!
