or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
power tools operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

etc. in accordance with these instructions and
in the manner intended for the particular type
