shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and
may lead to a loss of control.
• 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.
• 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.
• Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or off
position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
the tool. Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like:
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
• 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.
• 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.
SERVICE
• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of electric
shock or injury.
