EXTENSION CORDS. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure t o use one heavy enough t o 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 heav-
ier the cord.

include the 240-volt heading.
17. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is
in off position before plugging in.
18. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner's manual for
recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk
of injury t o persons.
19. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or
if the cutting tool is accidentally contacted.
20. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other
part that is damaged should be carefully checked t o determine that
it
will
operate properly and perform 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. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
21. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction
of rotation of the blade or cutter only.
22.
NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER
OFF.
Don't
leave tool
until it
comes t o a complete stop.
23. When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
24. POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If
it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the
proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
