Equipment Use and Care

• Do not force equipment. Use the correct equipment for
your application. The correct equipment does the job bet-
ter and more safely.
• Do not use equipment if the power switch does not
turn it on and off. Any equipment that cannot be con-
trolled with the power switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the equipment before making
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing. Pre-
ventive safety measures reduce the risk of injury.
• Store idle equipment out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the equipment
or these instructions to operate the equipment. Equip-
ment can be dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain equipment. Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, missing parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect the equipment's op-
eration. If damaged, have the equipment repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
equipment.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the equipment in
unexpected situations.
• Use the equipment and accessories in accordance
with these instructions, taking into account the work-
ing conditions and the work to be performed. Use of
the equipment for operations different from those intend-
ed can result in hazardous situations.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your equipment. Accessories that
may be suitable for one piece of equipment may become
hazardous when used with other equipment.
• Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
Clean handles give better control of the equipment.
