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 and/or the battery
pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, chang-
ing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety mea-
sures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the d.
reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to oper-
ate 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 dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and f.
clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
Use the power tool and acces-g.
sories 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.
