4. Using the treatment of electric tools
앬Do not overload your tool. Only use suitable
electric tools to perform your work.
Using the right electric tool allows you to work
better and safer within the toolʼs quoted capacity
range.
앬Do not use an electric tool whose switch is
defective.
An electric tool that no longer can be switched on
or off is dangerous and must be repaired.
앬Pull the plug out of the socket and/or remove
the battery before making any adjustments to
the tool, changing accessories or put the tool
down.
This precaution eliminates the possibility of
inadvertently starting the tool.
앬When not in use, store electric tools out of the
reach of children. Do not allow those persons
to use this tool who are unfamiliar with it or
who have not read these instructions.
Electric tools are dangerous when they are used
by inexperienced persons.
앬Take good care of your tool. Check that
moving parts properly function and do not jam,
that parts are not broken off or damaged in any
way and that the tool can be used to its full
capacity. Have damaged parts repaired prior to
using the tool.
The cause of many accidents can be traced back
to poorly maintained electric tools.
앬Keep your blades sharp and clean.
Properly maintained blades with sharp edges jam
less frequently and are easier to use.
앬Make sure to use electric tools, accessories,
attachments, etc. in accordance with these
instructions. Take the conditions in your work
area and the job in hand into account.
Using electric tools for applications other than
those intended can lead to dangerous situations.
5. SERVICE
앬Have your tool repaired only by authorized
specialists using original replacement parts.
This will ensure that your tool remains safe to use.
