4) Power tool use and care
a) 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.
b) 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.
c)
Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from
the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
d) 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.
e) 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.

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,
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.
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.
