damaged, and perform their intended functions.
Check for alignment, binding or breakage of all
moving parts. Any guard or other part that is dam-
aged should be immediately repaired or replaced.
16. Ground all machines. If any machine is supplied
with a 3-prong plug, it must be plugged into a

used to ground the tool and provide protection
against accidental electric shock.
DO NOT
remove
the third prong.

area, especially when the machine is operating.
