5.4 Power tool use and care
▪ Do not expect the power tool to do more than it can. Use the correct power tool for
what you want to do. A power tool will achieve better results and be safer if used in
the context for which it was designed.
▪ Do not use the power tool if the switch cannot turn it on and off. A power tool with a
broken switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
▪ Disconnect the plug from the power source before making adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the power tool accidentally.
▪ Store power tools, when not in use, out of the reach of children and do not allow
people who are not familiar with the power tool or these instructions to operate it.
Power tools are potentially dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
▪ Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or jammed moving parts, breakages or
any other feature that might affect the operation of the power tool. If it is damaged,
the power tool must be repaired. Many accidents are caused by using poorly
maintained power tools.
▪ Use the power tool, accessories and cutting tools, etc., in accordance with these
instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking
into account the working conditions and the work which needs to be done. Using a
power tool in ways for which it was not intended can lead to potentially hazardous
situations.
5.5 Service
▪ Your power tool should be serviced by a qualified specialist using only standard
spare parts. This will ensure that it meets the required safety standards.
