Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and perform its

mounting and any other conditions that may affect its
operation. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced by an
authorized service center unless otherwise indicated
in this instruction manual. Have defective switches
replaced by an authorized service facility. Do not use
the tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
