damaged or cut off and under pressure may swing
around in an uncontrolled manner and are therefore

check the machine and tool for damage.
Do not use cracked and bent knives.
Make sure that the tool is firmly fitted!
Always make sure that you are standing in a stable
position and holding the machine firmly and securely
