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, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5. Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
NOISE/VIBRATION INFORMATION
Measured sound values determined according to EN 60745-1.
WEAR HEARING PROTECTION!
Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN 60745-1: The
vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in
accordance with a standardized test given in EN 60745-1 and may be used to compare
one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool.
However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or
poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase
the exposure level over the total working period. An estimation of the level of exposure
to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or
when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the
exposure level over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to
protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the
accessories, keep the hands warm, organization of work patterns.
