GENERAL WORKING STAND SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions
provided with the working stand and the power
tool to be mounted. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/
or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments or changing accessories.
Accidental starting of the power tool is a cause of some
accidents.
Properly assemble the working stand before
mounting the tool. Proper assembly is important to
prevent risk of collapse.
Securely fasten the power tool to the working stand
before use. Power tool shifting on the working stand
can cause loss of control.
Place the working stand on a solid, flat and level
surface. When the working stand can shift or rock, the
power tool or workpiece cannot be steadily and safely
controlled.
Do not overload the working stand or use as ladder
or scaffolding. Overloading or standing on the working
stand causes the stand to be "top-heavy" and likely to
tip over.
