accidentally.
16) Store idle tools out of reach of chil-

Tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
17) When battery pack is not in use,
keep it away from other metal
objects like: paper clips, coins, keys,

from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals togeth-
er may cause sparks, burns or a fire.
18) Maintain tools with care. Keep cut-
ting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained tools with sharp
cutting edge are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.

moving parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect
the tool's operations. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.

mended by the manufacturer for
your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for
one tool may create a risk of injury
when used on another tool.
