other condition that may affect the tool's operation.
If damaged, have the tool re paired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that
may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous
when used on another tool.

son using only identical replacement parts. This will
