The purpose of safety rules is to attract your attention to
possible dangers. The safety symbols and the explanations
with them, require your careful attention and understanding.
The safety warnings do not by themselves eliminate any
danger. The instruction or warnings they give are not
substitutes for proper accident prevention measures.

carefully. Learn its applications and limitations as well as
the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
