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.
UNPACKING
• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Familiarise
yourself with all its features and functions.
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in
good condition. If any parts are missing or damaged,
have such parts replaced before attempting to use this
tool.
