intended function.
•
Check for damaged parts. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding, breakage, mounting and any other condition that may
affect a tool’s operation.
•
A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced. Do not perform makeshift repairs. (Use
parts list provided to order replacement parts.)
