Do not use.
9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure
your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss
of power and overheating.
Table A shows the
correct size to use depending on cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not
wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties,
rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which
may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip
footwear is recommended. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair.
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also
use face or dust mask if cutting operation is
dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact
resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a
vise to hold work when practical. It’s
safer than using your hand and it
frees both hands to operate tool.
13. DON’T OVERREACH.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep
tools sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing;
when changing accessories, such as
blades, bits, cutters, and the like.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL
STARTING. Make sure switch is in
off position before plugging in.
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult the owner’s manual for recommended
accessories. The use of improper accessories
may cause risk of injury to persons.
18. NEVER STAND ON TOOL.
Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or
if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further
use of the tool, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and
perform its 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 replaced.
20. DIRECTION OF FEED.
Feed work into a blade or cutter buffing wheel on
the lower quarter of the buffing wheel against the
direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.
21. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING
UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t
leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
