4. Tool Use and Care:

4-1 Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the work
piece to a stable platform.
- Holding the work piece by hand or against your body is unstable
and may lead to loss of control and injury.

- Operate the tool within its design parameters. The correct tool will
do the job better and safer.

off.
- Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
4-4 Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.
- These preventive safety measures reduce the risk of the tool
accidentally starting.
4-5 Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained
persons.

4-6 Maintain tools with care and, in accordance with, standard industrial
practices.

parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool's operation. If
the tool has any damage, have the tool serviced before using.

for your model.

hazardous when used on another tool.
