is used with the blade. The forward tip of the

of blade thrust which can cause serious injury
such as amputation to the operator or by-
standers. Failure to install the shield in the
position shown can result in serious injury to
the operator. The length of the shield must be
aligned with the length of the tube. The blade
is sharp and can cut you. Be sure to wear
gloves while working with blades.
