cord(s), use the cord(s) as a handle, close a door on a cord, pull the cord(s) around sharp edges or
corners or yank the cord(s) to disconnect the unit. Grasp the plug(s), not the cord(s), to disconnect
the unit.

DO NOT

modify the power cord, extension cord, power cord plug, extension cord plug or wall

outlet in any way.

DO NOT

use multiple extension cords. 

• Keep the cords away from oil, water, sharp objects and heated surfaces.
• Keep the cords away from the operator’s feet to prevent tripping.
• Make sure the cords are in good condition. Inspect the power cord and extension cord periodically.

Look closely for deterioration, cuts or cracks in the insulation. If the power cord is damaged, have it
repaired by an authorized service center. If the extension cord is damaged, replace it. Do not use a
damaged cord or plug.

• If the extension cord is damaged in any manner while plugged in, disconnect the extension cord

from the receptacle. 

• If the extension is to be used outside, the cord must be suitable for outdoor use. Any cord marked

for outdoor use can also be used for indoor work. The letters “W” or “WA” on the cord jacket
