Never use dull or damaged blades. Sharp blades must be handled with care. 

Damaged blades can snap during use. Dull blades require more force to cut the 

workpiece, possibly causing the blade to break.

Never touch the blade during or immediately after use. After use the blade is too 

hot to be touched.

GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS

WARNING: Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. 

 Position the cord 

so it will not get caught on the workpiece, tools or any other obstructions while you 

are working with the power tool.

Make sure any extension cord used with this tool is in good condition. When using 

an extension cord, be sure to use one of heavy enough gauge to carry the current 

the tool will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in 

loss of power and overheating.

The table below shows the correct size to use according to cord length and 

nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the 

gauge number the heavier the cord.

Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always 

replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified electrician 

before using it. Protect your extension cord from sharp objects, excessive heat and 

damp or wet areas.

Use a separate electrical circuit for your power tools.  This circuit must not be less 

than 14 gauge wire and should be protected with either a 15 AMP time delayed 

fuse or circuit breaker. Before connecting the power tool to the power source, 

make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the power source is the same as 

indicated on the nameplate. Running at lower voltage will damage the motor.

WARNING: Repair or replace damaged or worn extension cords immediately. 

Select the appropriate extension cord gauge and length using the chart below.

When operating a power tool outdoors, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" 

or "W". These cords are rated for 

outdoor use and reduce the risk of 

electric shock.

WARNING: Keep the extension 

cord clear of the working area. 

Position the cord so it will not get 

caught on the workpiece, tools or 

any other obstructions while you 

are working with the power tool.
