tion.
 Align the ridge on the upper end of the tool with the groove

of the tool should not separate when pulled. Repeat above
steps if pieces can be separated.

Failure to properly assemble the tool as described above
could result in the tool separating and cause serious

Do not allow familiarity with products to make you care-
less. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is
sufficient to inflict serious injury.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in
objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible
