5. Dangers emanating from the
Tool Set
Before each use, check the HAZET
Engine Timing Tool Set for full functio-

its functional efficiency cannot be ensured or if
damage is detected. If the Tool Set is used,
when it is not in full working order, you risk
severe injuries to persons and damage to pro-
perty. Defective tools may cause severe injury.
In order to avoid injury or damage, it is
