Do not use when tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables
better control in unexpected situations.

jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

may affect the product’s operation. If damaged,
have the product repaired before use.
10. Use the product and accessories etc., in accordance
with these instructions and in the manner intended
for the particular type of product, taking into account
