16) STAY ALERT. Watch what you are
doing. Use common sense. Do not
operate tool when you are tired.
17) CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before
further use of the tools, check guard or
other safety devices carefully to
determine that they will operate properly
and perform their intended function.
Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage 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 repiaced
