• SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It’s safer
than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
• DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times.
• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean
for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords
periodically and if damaged, have repaired by authorized
service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace
if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease.
• DISCONNECT OR LOCK OFF TOOLS when not in use,
before servicing, and when changing accessories, such as
blades, bits, cutters.
• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit
of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are
removed from tool before turning it on.
• AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Don’t carry tool with
finger on switch. Be sure switch is off when plugging in.
• STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense.
Do not operate tool when you are tired.
• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a
guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform
its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any
other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other
part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorized service center unless otherwise indicated
elsewhere in this instruction manual. Have defective switches
replaced by authorized service center. Do not use tool if switch
does not turn it on and off.
• CAUTION: When drilling or driving into walls, floors or
wherever live electrical wires may be encountered, DO NOT
E NGLISH
