Equipment Use and Care
• Do not force equipment. Use the cor-
rect equipment for your application� The
correct equipment will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is de-
signed�
• Do not use equipment if the power
switch does not turn it on and off. Any
equipment that cannot be controlled 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 adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or stor-
ing. Preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of injury�
• Store idle equipment out of the reach
of children and do not allow per-
sons unfamiliar with the equipment
or these instructions to operate the
equipment. Equipment can be danger-
ous in the hands of untrained users�
• Maintain equipment. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts,
missing parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect the
equipment's operation� If damaged, have
the equipment repaired before use� Many
accidents are caused by poorly main-
tained equipment�
• Use the equipment and accessories in
accordance with these instructions;
taking into account the working con-
ditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the equipment for operations dif-
ferent from those intended can result in a
hazardous situation�
• Use only accessories that are rec-
ommended 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. This allows for better
control of the equipment�
