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.
EXTENSiON CORDS
Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. 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.
Guidelines for Using Extension Cords
•
If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the suffix
“W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.
•
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.
Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person
before using it.
•
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
SPECiFiC SAFETY RULES FOR ANGLE GRiNDERS
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with your angle grinder (gained from repeated use)
replace strict adherence to angle grinder safety rules. if you use this tool unsafely or
incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.
WARNiNG:
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal
parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
1. Always use proper guard with grinding wheel. A guard protects operator from broken wheel fragments.
2. Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recommended on the tool warning label. Wheels and other
accessories running over rated speed can flay apart and cause injury.
