may result in seri-
ous or even fatal
injury.
Observe all applicable local
safety regulations, standards
and ordinances.

your machine or attend a
special course in its operation.
Minors should never be
allowed to use this product.
Keep bystanders, especially
children, and animals away
from the work area.
When the machine is not in

endanger others. Secure it
