1. The tool will not activate when switched on.
2. The tool may switch on, but fails to maintain power when operated.
3. The tool may overheat, possibly starting a fire.

ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS
WARNING! Shut off the electrical tool or device and move away if
you feel faint, dizzy, nausea or shocks. Seek medical attention.
Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) can interfere with electronic devices such
as pacemakers. Anyone with a pacemaker should consult with their
doctor before working with or near a tool that generates an EMF. The
following steps can minimize the effects of electromagnetic fields.
1. Keep the power source and any power cables as far away from the
user as practical. A minimum of 24 in. is recommended.
2. Avoid long and regular bursts of energy while operating the tool. Use
the tool for short or intermittent periods of time. This will prevent a
pacemaker from interpreting the signal as a rapid heartbeat.
3. Alert other people in the work area, so they can take precautions or
can watch out for those with a pacemaker.

vibration may cause temporary or permanent physical injury. Take

tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical
attention as soon as possible.
