Use and Care Manual

TOOL USE AND CARE
• Secure the work piece with clamps or other practical methods to provide a secure
work platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is not secure and may
lead to loss of control.
• Use the correct tool for the work. The proper tool will do the work faster and safer.
• Do not use the tool if the "ON/OFF" switch is not working. Operating a tool that cannot
be controlled by you is dangerous and must be repaired before use.
• Always disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet before storing the tool,
making adjustments or adding/replacing accessories. This simple prevention will reduce
the risk of accidental starting of the tool.
• Store the tool in a secure place out of reach of children. A secure storage location will
prevent the unauthorized use by untrained users.
• Properly maintain tools. Keep all cutting tools sharp and clean. Remove contaminants
from the tool and keep clean. Check for broken parts or binding of moving parts before
use. If damaged, have the tool serviced before use. Prevent accidents caused by poorly
maintained tools.
• Use only accessories recommended for your model. Accessories suitable for one tool
may become hazardous when used on another tool.
SERVICE
• Tool service, mechanical and/or electrical is to be performed only by qualified repair
personnel. Service performed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. The use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create

• Make sure the power switch is in the "OFF" position before plugging it into the
receptacle. This will prevent accidental starting. Carrying tools with your finger on
the switch or plugging in the tools with the switch in the "ON" position invites accidents.
• Remove adjusting tools such as wrenches or keys before turning the tool on. A wrench
or key left attached to a rotating part will fly off and may cause personal injury.
• Do not overreach while operating a power tool. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. Good balance and solid footing enables better control in unexpected situations.
• Always wear appropriate safety equipment. Always wear eye protection while operating
a power tool. Use appropriate dust respirators, hearing protection, hard-hat, face shield
or safety shoes as dictated by the work and tool.
