RISK OF CUT OR BURNS
• Improperly maintained tools and accessories can cause
serious injury.
Use only accessories identified by the manufacturer to
be used with specific tools. • Use of an accessory not intended for use with the
specific tools, increases the risk of injury to persons.
• Maintain the tool with care.
• Keep a cutting tool sharp and clean. A properly
maintained tool, with sharp cutting edges reduces the
risk of binding and is easier to control.
