of parts, 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 autho-
rized service facility. Do not use the tool if the
