USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. 9. 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 over-heating. Table A shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not 10. wear loose clothing, gloves, neck-ties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recom-mended. Wear protective hair cover-ing to contain long hair.

ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. 11. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eye-

glasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a 12. vise to hold work when practical. It’s safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.

DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper 13. footing and balance at all times.

MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. 14. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and chang-ing accessories.

DISCONNECT TOOLS before ser-15. vicing; when changing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters, and the like.

REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTEN-16. TIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in off position before plug-ging in.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSO-17. RIES. Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.

NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious 18. injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.

CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before 19. further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and per-form its intended function – check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation.

Vibration Safety

This tool vibrates during use. Re-peated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:

Anyone using vibrating tools regu-1. larly or for an extended period should first be examined by a doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to ensure medical problems are not being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood circulation to the hand, past hand injuries, ner-vous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease should not use this tool. If you feel any medical or physical symptoms related to vibra-tion (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical advice as soon as possible.

Do not smoke during use. Nico-2. tine reduces the blood supply to the hands and fingers, increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.

Wear suitable gloves to reduce the 3. vibration effects on the user.

Use tools with the lowest vibration 4. when there is a choice between dif-ferent processes.

Include vibration-free periods each 5. day of work.

Grip tool as lightly as possible (while 6. still keeping safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.

To reduce vibration, maintain the tool 7. as explained in this manual. If any

abnormal vibration occurs, stop use immediately.
