8. Use recommended accessories. Using accessories and attachments not
recommended by the manufacturer or intended for use on this type tool may cause
damage to the tool or result in personal injury to the user. Consult the operator’s
manual for recommended accessories.
9. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
10. Feed the workpiece in the correct direction and speed. Feed the workpiece into a
blade, cutter, or abrasive surface against the direction of the cutting tool’s direction of
rotation only. Incorrectly feeding the workpiece in the same direction may cause the
workpiece to be thrown out at high speed.
11. Never leave the tool running unattended, turn the power off. Do not leave the tool until
it comes to a complete stop.
12. Never start the power tool when any rotating component is in contact with the work
piece.
WARNING: USE OF THIS TOOL CAN GENERATE AND DISBURSE DUST OR OTHER AIRBORNE
PARTICLES, INCLUDING WOOD DUST, CRYSTALLINE SILICA DUST AND ASBESTOS. Direct
particles away from face and body. Always operate tool in a well-ventilated area and
provide for proper dust removal. Use dust collection system wherever possible. Exposure
to the dust may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury, including silicosis
(a serious lung disease), cancer, and death. Avoid breathing the dust, and avoid prolonged
contact with the 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 NIOSH/OSHA approved
respiratory protection appropriate for dust exposure, and wash exposed areas with soap
and water.
SERVICE
1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
2. Service your power tool periodically. When cleaning a tool, be careful not to
disassemble any portion of the tool since internal wires may be misplaced or pinched.
WARNING: READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS EQUIPMENT. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
EXTENSION CORDS
Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double insulated tools can use either a
two or three wire extension cord. As the distance from the power supply outlet increases, you
must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire
causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. Refer to
the table shown below to determine the required minimum wire size.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example:
a 14-gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16-gauge cord. When using more than one
extension cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord contains at least the minimum
wire size required. If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the
nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum wire size.
