h)
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and ig-
nore tool safety principles. A careless action can
cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
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 can-
not be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
c)
Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing pow-
er tools. Such precautionary measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d)
Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren 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 and attachments. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, break-
age of parts and any other condition that may af-
fect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Many acci-
dents 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.
Take 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.
h)
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
5) Service
a)
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
