Baffling instructions

Over the years, I've come across quite a few instruction leaflets containing baffling, amusing or sometimes incomprehensible guidance
This set of guidance for newly acquired wire strippers made me smile - especially "
If possible, always pull. ont push, to prevent a fall".
And, as a former teacher, I'm not sure about "
Always work carefully and keep away from children".

I do hope you always disconnect the power before making your rapaies! Have you seen what happens if you don't!
No, nor have I
I do however agree with the motto of "Keep away from children!", good move

If you need a pipe for added leverage on a wire stripper, it's time to call a professional!

Looks like a generic safety warning to satisfy regulations.
A bit of proof reading would not go astray,
Maybe I look at the world differently but all that made sense to me.
Could be the years evaluating technical manuals that did it.
But I do agree with keeping away from children.
