18.
Do not store anything above or near the tool where anyone might try to stand on the tool to reach it.
19.
Maintain your balance. Do not extend yourself over the tool. Wear oil resistant rubber soled shoes. Keep floor
clear of debris, grease, and wax.
20.
Maintain tools with care. Always keep tools clean and in good working order. Keep all blades and tool bits sharp,
dress grinding wheels and change other abrasive accessories when worn.
21.
Each and every time, check for damaged parts prior to using the tool. Carefully check all guards to see that they
operate properly, are not dam-aged, and perform their intended functions. Check for alignment, binding or breaking of
moving parts. A guard or other part that is damaged should be immediately repaired or replaced.
22.
Do not operate tool while tired, or under the influence of drugs, medication or alcohol.
23.
Secure all work. Use clamps or jigs to secure the work piece. This is safer than attempting to hold the work
piece with your hands.
24.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
25.
Always wear a dust mask to prevent inhaling dangerous dust or airborne particles, including wood dust,
crystalline silica dust and asbestos dust. Direct particles away from face and body. Always operate tool in 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 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 the dust exposure, and wash exposed areas with soap and water.
26.
Use a proper extension cord in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough
to carry the current your product will draw. The table on the following page shows the cor-rect size to use depending on
cord length and nameplate amperage rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the
larger diameter of the extension cord. If in doubt of the proper size of an exten-sion cord, use a shorter and thicker cord.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in a loss of power and overheating.
27. This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.
28 In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides the path of least resistance for electric current
and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding
conductor and requires a grounding plug (not included). The plug must be plugged into a matching elec-trical receptacle
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
29. Do not modify any plug. If it will not fit the electrical receptacle, have the proper electrical receptacle installed
by a qualified electrician.
30. Improper electrical connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The
conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment ground-ing conductor.
31. Do not connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal if repair or replacement
of the electric cord or plug is necessary.
32. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand the grounding
instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded when installing or replacing a plug.
33. Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has the proper type of a 3-prong grounding plug that matches the
machine’s 3-prong plug and also the 3-pole receptacle that accepts the tool’s plug.
34 . Replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
35. Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others.
