Equipment Use and Care

• Do not force equipment. Use the cor-
rect equipment for your application. The
correct equipment does the job better
and more safely.
• Do not use equipment if the power
switch does not turn it on and off. Any
equipment that cannot be controlled with
the power switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from
the equipment before making adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or stor-
ing. Preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of injury.
• Store idle equipment out of the reach
of children and do not allow per-
sons unfamiliar with the equipment
or these instructions to operate the
equipment. Equipment can be danger-
ous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain equipment. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts,
missing parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect the
equipment's operation. If damaged, have
the equipment repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly main-
tained equipment.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the equipment in unex-
pected situations.
• Use the equipment and accessories
in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working con-
ditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the equipment for operations dif-
ferent from those intended can result in
hazardous situations.
• Use only accessories that are rec-
ommended by the manufacturer for
your equipment. Accessories that may
be suitable for one piece of equipment
may become hazardous when used with
other equipment.
• Keep handles dry, clean, and free from
oil and grease. Clean handles give bet-
ter control of the equipment.
