Using The Unit - Stihl HSE 52 Instruction Manual

English
e) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools
with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to
control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories
and tool bits etc. in accordance with
these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
