11. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in.
Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
12. Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning the tool on. A
wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may
result in personal injury.
13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
14.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
15. Use clamps or other practical way t o secure and support the work-
piece t o a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your
body is unstable and may lead t o
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 a t 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 reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.
19. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons.
Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
20. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and
are easier to control.
21. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
and any other condition that may affect the tool's operation. If
damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
22. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for
your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may
become
hazardous when used on another tool.

23. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could
result in a risk of injury.
24. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure t o follow Maintenance Instructions may
create a risk of electric shock or injury.
