POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1.
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for
your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer
•
at the rate for which it was designed.
2.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn on and
off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
