Tool
UseandCare
15. Use clamps or other practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holdingthework by handor
against your body is unstable and may lead
to
loss
of control.
16. 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.
17. 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.
18.
Disconnect the plug from the power
source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the tool.
Such preventive safety measures reducethe
riskof starting the tool accidentally.
19. Store idle tools out of reach of children
and other untrained persons.
Tools

dangerousinthe hands
of
untrainedusers.
20. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting
tools sharp and clean. Properlymaintained
tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely
to bindand 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 ser-
viced before using. Many accidents are
causedby poorlymaintainedtools.

mended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitablefor
one tool, may become hazardouswhen used
on another
