USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make
sure your extension cord is in good condi-
tion. Conductor size should be in accor-
dance with the chart below. The amperage
rating should be listed on the motor or tool
nameplate. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Your extension
cord must also contain a ground wire and
plug pin. Always repair or replace exten-
sion cords if they become damaged.

Safety Instructions For Metalworking Tools
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT
WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean
for best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
15. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult the owner’s manual for recom-
mended accessories. The use of improp-
er accessories may cause risk of injury.
16. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before fur-
ther use of the equipment, 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 condi-
tions that may affect its operation. A
guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced.
17. NEVER OPERATE EQUIPMENT WHEN
TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE
OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL. Full mental
alertness is required at all times when
using equipment.
No list of safety guidelines can be com-
plete. Every shop environment is differ-
ent. Always consider safety first, as it
applies to your individual working condi-
tions. Use this and other equipment with
caution and respect. Failure to do so
could result in serious personal injury,
damage to equipment or poor work
results.
