serious personal injury.
▶ Avoid unusual body positions. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times.
▶ Wear personal protective equipment. Wearing personal protective
equipment reduces the risk of injury.

mation and warning notices.

switched off before connecting it to the battery and before picking
it up or carrying it.

tions and in the way specified for this special type of tool. Take the

of inexperienced persons.
