steps have been read and understood.
1. READ and become familiar with this entire instruction manual. LEARN the tool’s applications, limitations,
and possible hazards.

rain. Keep work areas well lit.

the tool until it has come to a complete stop.
12. NEVER STAND ON A TOOL. Serious injury could result if the tool tips or is accidentally hit. DO NOT
store anything above or near the tool.
13. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Wear oil-resistant rubber-soled
footwear. Keep the floor clear of oil, scrap, and other debris.
