and jewelry can be caught in moving parts.
• Keep body parts away from rotating parts.

any other sign of damage. Have repairs performed at an Authorized Service Center
before use.
• Do not use chipped, cracked, or damaged sockets and accessories.
• Do not remove any labels. Replace any damaged label.
• Follow good, professional tool practices:
