less. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is
sufficient to inflict serious injury.

Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields when operating tools. Failure to do so could re-
sult in objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting in
possible serious injury.

mended by the manufacturer of this tool. The use of at-
