outdoors and so marked.

Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand
to move into the blade. Always make sure you have good balance.

qualified service technician at an authorized service center.

other part may create a hazard or cause product damage.

under the blade guard. Do not reach underneath work or in blade cutting path with your
hands and fingers for any reason.
