Tool Use and Care
Use clamps or other practical way t o secure and support the workpiece
to
a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and
may lead t o loss of control.
Do
not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
*Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the s w i t c h in the locked or off
position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the
tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
accident a I I y.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands
of
untrained users.
* W h e n battery pack is not i n use, keep
it
away from other metal objects like:
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal t o another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools with sharp cutting edge are less likely t o bind and are easier t o control.
Check for misalignment or binding 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.
Use only accessories that are recommended 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.
Service
Tool
service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.
When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions
in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure
t o follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of shock of injury.
