• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control
.
• Feed the work piece in the correct direction and speed.
Feed the work piece into a blade,
cutter, or abrasive surface against the direction of the cutting tool’s direction of rotation only.
Incorrectly feeding the work piece in the same direction may cause the work piece to be thrown
out at high speed.
• Never leave the tool running unattended, turn the power off.
Do not leave the tool until it
comes to a complete stop.
• Never start the power tool when any rotating component is in contact with the work
piece.
WARNING
:
USE OF THIS TOOL CAN GENERATE AND DISBURSE DUST OR
OTHER AIRBORNE PARTICLES, INCLUDING WOOD DUST, CRYSTALLINE SILICA DUST AND
ASBESTOS. Direct particles away from face and body. Always operate tool in a
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 the 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 dust exposure,
and wash exposed areas with soap and water.
SERVICE
•
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
• Service your power tool periodically.
When cleaning a tool, be careful not to disassemble
any portion of the tool since internal wires may be misplaced or pinched.
WARNING
:
Read and understand all warnings, cautions and operating instructions
before using this equipment. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
EXTENSION CORDS
Double insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord. As the distance from the
power supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords
with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible
tool damage. Refer to the table shown below to determine the required minimum wire size.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example: a
14-gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16-gauge cord. When using more than one extension
cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required.
If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the
sum to determine the required minimum wire size.
