Inspect tool before use, looking for damaged, loose, and missing parts. If any problems are found, do not use tool until repaired.

Work Piece and Work Area Set Up

3.Secure loose workpieces using a vise or clamps (not included) to prevent movement while working.

4.There must not be hazardous objects (such as utility lines or foreign objects) nearby that will present a hazard while working.
