BEFORE USE
•
Avoid damage that can be caused by
screws, nails and other elements in your
workpiece; remove them before you start
working
•
Use suitable detectors to find hidden utility
lines or call the local utility company for
assistance (contact with electric lines can
lead to fire or electrical shock; damaging a
gas line can result in an explosion; pene-
trating a water pipe will cause property
damage or an electrical shock)
•
Secure the workpiece (a workpiece
clamped with clamping devices or in a
vice is held more securely than by hand)
