19 Store idle tools out of reach of children
and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
20 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.
21 Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tools
operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
22 Use only accessories that are
recommended by the manufacturer for
your model. Accessories that may be suitable
for one tool, may become hazardous when used
on another tool.
Service
23 Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel
could result in a risk of injury.
24 When servicing a tool, use only
identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the Maintenance section of
this manual. Use of unauthorised parts or
failure to follow Maintenance instructions may
create a risk of electric shock or injury.
