Tool Use
DON'T FORCE TOOL
It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
USE THE RIGHT TOOL

duty tool. Don't use tool for purpose not intended — for ex-
ample; don't use circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.

Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of
rotation of the blade or cutter only.
NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED
Turn power off. Don't leave tool until it comes to a complete
