You WILL be KILLED or
SERIOUSLY INJURED if you
do not follow instructions.
It is vital that you read and understand
this user manual before using the product,
including safety warnings, and any
assembly and operating instructions.
Keep the manual for future reference.
Safety precautions and recommendations
detailed here must be fully understood
and followed to reduce the risk of injury,
fire, explosion, electrical hazard, and/or
property damage.
Safety information presented here is
generic in nature – some advice may not
be applicable to every product. The term
"equipment" refers to the product, be it
electrical mains powered, battery powered
or combustion engine powered.
•Before Use - If you are not familiar with
