The wearing of a hard hat, eye and ear protection is MANDATORY
Hand protection using cut-prevention work gloves.
Foot protection using safety footwear.

heed warnings and follow instructions may lead to an electric shock, a fire and/or
serious injury.
Keep all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “tools” in the war-
