# Safety Instructions

- Make sure you have firm footing when operating the power tool, especially when using it standing on steps or ladders. Slippery or unstable surfaces can cause you to lose your balance or lose control over the power tool.

- The chain of the saw blade can tear if subjected to excessive strain. You should replace the power tool and/or saw blade if this happens.
