WARNING: 

Do  not  allow  familiarity  with  tools  to  make  you  care-
less. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is
sufficient to inflict serious injury.

WARNING:

 

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.

WARNING:

Do not use any attachments or accessories not recom-
mended by the manufacturer of this tool. The use of at-
tachments or accessories not recommended can result 
in serious personal injury.

WARNING: 

Do not allow hands, feet, or any other part of the body or 
clothing near the rotating tines or any other moving part. 
The tines begin to rotate forward once the switch trigger 
is depressed. The tines continue to rotate until the switch 
trigger is released. Failure to avoid contact could cause 
serious personal injury.
