carrying the tool.
9.
Stopper pin which locks the cutter head down
is for carrying and storage purposes only and
not for any cutting operations.
10. Do not use the tool in the presence of
flammable liquids or gases. The electrical
operation of the tool could create an explosion and
fire when exposed to flammable liquids or gases.
11.
