SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS cont.
WARNING:
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged
replace immediately. Never use tool with a damaged cord since touching
the damaged area could cause electrical shock, resulting in serious injury.
!
2.
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with grounded power tools.
Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
3.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.
4.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
5.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
6.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use marked “W-A” or “W”.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
7.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a Ground
Fault Circuit Interupter (GFCI) protected supply.
Use of a GFCI reduces the
risk of electric shock.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY cont.
EXTENSION CORDS
USE 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. Table 1 shows the correct size to
use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
Table 1: Minimum Gage for Cord
!
CAUTION:
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area.
Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, tools, parts of the
vehicle or other obstructions while you are working with a power tool.
WARNING:
Double insulation DOES NOT take the place of normal
safety precautions when operating this tool.
