Power tool use and care4.
Do not force the power tool. Use a.
the correct power tool for your ap-
plication. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the b.
switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the c.
power source from the power
tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such pre-
ventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the d.
reach of children and do not al-
low persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions
to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for e.
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.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. f.
Properly maintained cutting tools
with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to
control.
Use the power tool, accessories g.
and tool bits etc., in accordance
with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular
type of power tool, taking into ac-
count the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of
the power tool for operations differ-
ent from those intended could result
in a hazardous situation.
VIBRATION HAZARD
This tool vibrates during use.
Repeated or long-term exposure to vibra-
tion may cause temporary or permanent
physical injury, particularly to the hands,
arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk of
vibration-related injury:
Anyone using vibrating tools regularly 1.
or for an extended period should rst
be examined by a doctor and then
have regular medical check-ups to
ensure medical problems are not
being caused or worsened from use.
Pregnant women or people who have
impaired blood circulation to the hand,
past hand injuries, nervous system
disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s Dis-
ease should not use this tool. If you
feel any medical or physical symp-
toms related to vibration (such as
tingling, numbness, and white or blue
ngers), seek medical advice as soon
as possible.
Do not smoke during use. Nicotine 2.
reduces the blood supply to the hands
and ngers, increasing the risk of
vibration-related injury.
Wear suitable gloves to reduce the 3.
vibration effects on the user.
Use tools with the lowest vibration 4.
when there is a choice between differ-
ent processes.
Include vibration-free periods each 5.
day of work.
Grip tool as lightly as possible (while 6.
still keeping safe control of it). Let the
tool do the work.
