!Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operat-
ing a power tool. Do not use a power

Power tool use and care
!Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your applica-

job better and safer at the rate for which
it was designed.
!Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
!Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the
power tool. Power tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
!Maintain power tools and accessories.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect
the power tool’s operation. If dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
!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.
