Power tool use and care
1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool 
for your application. The correct power tool will do the 
job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it 
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with 
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or 
the battery pack from the power tool before making any 
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power 
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
4. 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.
5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or 
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other 
condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If 
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many 
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly 
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. 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.
