Tool Use And Care - Milwaukee Hammer-Drill Operator's Manual

TOOL USE AND CARE

13. Use clamps or other practical way
to secure and support the work-
piece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body
is unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
14. Do not force tool. Use the correct
tool for your application. The cor-
rect tool will do the job better and safer
at the rate for which it is designed.
15. Do not use tool if switch does not
turn it on or off. A tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dan-
gerous and must be repaired.
16. Disconnect battery pack from tool
or place the switch in the locked
or off position before making any
adjustments, changing accesso-
ries, or storing the tool. Such pre-
ventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the tool accidentally.
17. Store idle tools out of reach of
children and other untrained per-
sons. Tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
18. When battery pack is not in use,
keep it away from other metal ob-
jects like: paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws, or other small
metal objects that can make a
connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery termi-
nals together may cause sparks,
burns, or a fire.
19. Maintain tools with care. Keep cut-
ting tools sharp and clean. Prop-
erly maintained tools with sharp cut-
ting edge are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
20. Check for misalignment or bind-
ing of moving parts, breakage of
parts, and any other condition that
may affect the tool's operation. If
damaged, have the tool serviced
before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools. Do
not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged
tools "Do not use" until repaired.
21. Use only accessories that are rec-
ommended by the manufacturer
for your model. Accessories that
may be suitable for one tool may cre-
ate a risk of injury when used on an-
other tool.
22. Tool service must be performed
only by qualified repair person-
nel. Service or maintenance per-
formed by unqualified personnel may
result in a risk of injury.
23. When servicing a tool, use only
identical replacement parts. Fol-
low instructions in the Mainte-
nance section of this manual. Use
of unauthorized parts or failure to fol-
low Maintenance Instructions may cre-
ate a risk of shock or injury.
