• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before
turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left
attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
enables better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye pro-
tection. Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions.
Tool Use and Care
• Use clamps or other practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable plat-
form. Holding the work by hand or against your
body is unstable and may lead to 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. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the tool. Such preven-
tive safety measures reduce risk of starting the
tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools
sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools, with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other condi-
tion that may affect the tools 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. Accesso-
ries that may be suitable for one tool, may be-
come hazardous when used on another tool.
SERVICE
• Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or mainte-
nance performed by unqualified personnel could
result in a risk of injury.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow Mainte-
nance Instructions may create a risk of electric
shock or injury.
