DO NOT remove the ground pole for use in a two-prong outlet. If necessary, use
an adaptor to a two prong plug, and always ensure proper grounding. Plugging
in to a GFI outlet is recommended. Make sure extension cords are grounded.
�
CORD ABUSE: In operation, use caution not to step on the cord (or any attached
extension cord). Also use caution not to cut the cord (or any attached extension
cord) with the blade. Don’t yank the cord to remove the plug from the electrical
socket or any other reason. For best performance, we recommend that 14 gauge
or heavier extension cords be used with this machine. As the length of extension
cord increases, a heavier cord must be used to assure proper performance of
the machine and prevent damage. Maximum extension cord length should be
50 feet. If cord, plug, or extension cords are damaged, repair or replace before
further use. Unplug cord and any extension cord before transporting the machine.
�
BLADES AND ACCESSORIES: For your safety, do not modify the machine in
any way. Use only Crain replacement blades and replacement parts. Use of
other blades, accessories, or unauthorized modifications made to the machine
can result in hazardous conditions. Make sure blades are clean and sharp. Dull
blades place a heavy load on the machine that can result in overheating, unex-
pected sticking of the machine, or kickback. Prior to switching the machine on,
remove any wrenches or other tools temporarily attached to it for blade change,
repair, etc.
�
SAFE APPAREL: Keep gloves, loose clothing and hair away from moving parts.
Keep loose hair tied back. These can get caught up in moving parts. Protect feet
and toes with proper work boots and good tread to prevent slipping and falling.
Wear rubber gloves and rubber-soled boots that provide electrical insulation.
�
MACHINE IS HEAVY: Users with adequate strength should move the machine
with caution and proper lifting technique. Be careful not to drop the machine
onto feet or other body parts. Dropping or lowering the machine with excessive
force (particularly on the blade carrier) can damage internal mechanisms. Store
safely in a place that prevents the machine from falling. Keep children away from
the machine.
