• Before connecting the tool to a power source
(receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure that the volt-
age supplied is the same as that one specified
on the nameplate of the tool. To use a not
specified voltage may cause a serious injury to
the user as well as damage the tool.
TOOL USE AND CARE
• Use clamps or other practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a estable plat-
form. Holding the work by hand or against your
body is unestable and may cause loss of control.
• Don't force the tool. Use correctly the tool in
its application and this will help you to do the
job better and safer.
• Do not use tools if switch does not turn it
ON or OFF. Any tool that cannot be controlled
whith the switch is dangerous and must be re-
paired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing ac-
cessories or storing the tool. This preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of accidental
starting of the tool.
• Store the power tool out of reach of children
and other untrained persons. Tools are danger-
ous in untrained hands of users.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools
sharp and clean. Properly mainteined tools,
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
• Check for misalignment or bonding of mov-
ing parts, breakage parts, and any other con-
dition that may affect the tools operation. If
you find a damaged tool, take it to the service
before use it. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories that are recommended
by the manufacturer of your model. Suitable
accessories for one tool, may become hazard-
ous when are used on another tool.
• Do not alter or misuse the tool. These tools
have been built by precision. Any alteration or
modification not specified is misuse and may
result in a dangerous condition.
• Tool service must be perfomed only by quali-
fied repair personnel.

Service or maintenance performed by unquali-
fied personnel could result in a risk of injury.
• When tool service is required, use only identi-
cal replacement parts and follow the instruc-
tions from "Maintenance Section" in this man-
ual. The use of unauthorized parts or failure to
