binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power
tool´s operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surface
only, because the cutter blade may contact hidden
wiring. Cutter blades contacting a ”live” wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool ” live” and
could give the operator an electric shock.
Use the power tool, 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 power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in a
