9. USE THE 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. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.
10. DON’T FORCE THE TOOL. It has been designed to operate at maximum safety and
performance levels.
11. DO NOT FORCE THE MATERIAL BEING CUT. Always let the tool cut at its own speed.
12. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, neckties, rings, bracelets or other
jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip foot wear is recommended. Wear
protective hair covering if you have long hair.
13. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask for commercial cutting
operations. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact-resistant lenses, they are NOT safety
glasses.
14. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise instead of your hand to hold work when practical.
This safetyprecaution allows for proper tool operation using both hands.
15. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
16. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools clean and in good working condition for
maximum safety performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
17. DISCONNECT TOOLS BEFORE SERVICING – when changing accessories, such as
blades, bits, cutters, etc.
18. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in OFF
position before plugging in.
19. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner’s manual for recommended
accessories. The use of improper accessories may increase risk of injury.
20. MAKE SURE YOU USE THE CORRECT TOOL for the job you are doing.
21. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting
tool is unintentionally contacted.
22. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, damaged part(s), (i.e., guard)
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 condition that may affect the tools operation. A guard or other part
that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
23. Replace damaged blades/cutters immediately. DO NOT USE DAMAGED BLADES/CUTTERS.
They may cause bodily injury.
24. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into the blade/cutter against the direction of rotation of
the blade/cutter only.
