and before plugging in. Do not carry any tool with your finger on the trigger, whether it
is plugged in or not.

Stay alert13. . Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not operate any tool
when you are tired.

Check for damaged parts14. . Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its
intended function. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts; any broken parts
or mounting fixtures; and any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any part

Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker
interference or pacemaker failure.
