14 Maintain your tools with care. For better and safer work, keep cutting tools sharp and
clean. Follow the instructions for lubrication and changing tools. Regularly inspect the
electric tool's connection cable, and if it is damaged, have it replaced by an authorized
expert. Regularly check extension cords, and replace them if they are damaged. Keep the
handles dry, clean and free of oil and grease.

tool when you are distracted.
20 Check the electric tool for damage. Before using the electric tool, you must inspect safety
equipment or slightly damaged parts carefully to ensure that they work properly and as
intended. Check to see that the moving parts operate freely and don't stick, and to make
sure no parts are damaged. All parts must be mounted properly and meet all the conditions
for ensuring trouble-free operation of the electric tool.
Damaged safety equipment and parts must be properly repaired or replaced by a
professional facility, unless otherwise indicated in the user manual. Damaged switches must
be replaced by a customer service facility.
