the tool unless thoroughly trained or under the supervision of an instructor. Keep out of
the reach of children.
⊲ Operators and maintenance personnel shall be able to physically handle the bulk,

work area and local safety regulations.

dangerous terrain conditions.

while the battery is connected. Accidental engagement of the tool can cause serious
injury.

⊲ During operation, do not contact mechanisms, accessories or hardware as they can
become very hot; use your Personal Protection Equipment (PPE).
