including silicosis (a serious lung disease), 
cancer, and death. Avoid breathing dust, and 
avoid prolonged contact with dust. Allowing 
dust to get into your mouth or eyes, or lay on 
your skin may promote absorption of harmful 
material. Always use properly fitting AS/NZS 
approved respiratory protection appropriate 
for the dust exposure, and wash exposed 
areas with soap and water.

26. 

USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD IN GOOD 
CONDITION.
 Use of extension cords should 

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

be avoided where possible. When using an 
extension cord, be sure to have a cord heavy 
enough to carry the current your product will 
draw, and with compatible pin configuration 
and connections. NEVER use an extension 
cord rated at less than your machine. 
Longer run extensions will need heavier 
duty extension cords. Only connect your 
extension cord or machine to a receptacle 
that accepts your plug and never modify your 
plug to suit a receptacle.
