IV. Machine use and care
1.
Do not force the machine. Use the correct machine for your
application. The correct machine will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
2.
Do not use the machine if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any machine that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
3.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the
battery pack, if detachable, from the machine before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing machines.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
machine accidentally.
4.
Store idle machines out of the reach of children and do not
allow persons unfamiliar with the machine or these instructions
to operate the machine. Machines are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
5.
Maintain machines and accessories. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other
condition that may affect the machine's operation. If damaged,
have the machine repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained machines.
6.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier
to control.
7.
Use the machine, accessories, and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the machine for
operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
8.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil
and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
