support the workpiece to a stable platform.

Holding

the work by hand or against your body is unstable and
may lead to loss of control.

■ Do not force toot. Use the correct tool for your ap­

plication.

The correct tool will do the job better and

safer at the rate for which it is designed.

A tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dan­
gerous 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 preventive safety measures reduce the

risk of starting the tool accidanCalty.

■ Store IdDe tools out of reach of children and other

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, bums, or a fire.

■ Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp

and clean.

Property maintained

tools with

sharp cut­

ting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to

controL

■ 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

create

a risk of injury when

used on another

tool.

■ Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and free

from oil and grease.

Always use a clean cloth when

cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, or any strong solvents to clean your
tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of

control and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.
