paired before using the machine.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained machines.
u Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
u Use the machine, accessories, ap-
plication tools, etc. according to
these instructions. Take the work-
ing conditions and the work to be
performed into account. Use of ma-
chines for operations different from
those intended could result in a haz-
ardous situation.
u Keep handles and grasping sur-
faces dry, clean and free from oil
and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the ma-
chine in unexpected situations.
Service
u Have your machine serviced by a
qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This
ensures that the safety of your ma-
chine is maintained.
