Always wear safety glass-

es. Everyday eyeglasses are not safety 

glasses. Also use face or dust mask if 

cutting operation is dusty. Always wear 

certified safety equipment. 

WARNING:

  Always  wear  proper  per

-

sonal hearing protection that conforms 

to ansi s12.6 (S3.19) During use. 

WARNING: 

Some  dust  created  by 

polishing  contains  chemicals  known 

to the state of California to cause can-

cer, birth defects or other reproductive 

harm. Some examples of these chemi

-

cals are:

•  lead from lead-based paints

• 

crystalline silica

• 

arsenic and chromium from chemi-

cally-treated lumber 

WARNING: 

use of this tool can gen-

erate  and/or  disperse  dust,  which  may 

cause  serious  and  permanent  respira

-

tory  or  other  injury.  Always  use  niosh/

osha  approved  respiratory  protection 

appropriate for the dust exposure.

and cause loss of control or kickback.

5. Do not attach a saw chain woodcarv-

ing  blade  or  toothed  saw  blade.  Such 

blades  create  frequent  kickback  and 

loss of control.

EXTENSION CORD

An extension cord must have adequate 

wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) 

for safety. The smaller the gauge num-

ber of the wire, the greater the capacity 

of the cable, that is 16 gauge has more 

capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized 

cord will cause a drop in line voltage re

-

sulting in loss of power and overheating. 

When using more than one extension to 

make up the total length, be sure each 

individual  extension  contains  at  least 

the minimum wire size. The following 

table shows the correct size to use de

-

pending on cord length and nameplate 

ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next 

heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge 

number, the heavier the cord.
