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
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 tools 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 and tool bits
etc., in accordance with these instructions
and in the manner intended for the particular
type of power tool, 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 Battery tool use and care
a Ensure the switch is in the off position before
inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery
pack into power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
b Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
c Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
