3. Check damaged parts 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 intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other condition that may affect
its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced
by our authorized service center unless indicated
elsewhere in this manual.
