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
replaced.
20. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or
cutter against the direction of rotation of the
blade or cutter only.
21. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED.
TURN POWER OFF. Don't leave tool until it
comes to a complete stop.
22. REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing use
only identical replacement parts.
23. POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of elec-
tric 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

sonal injury.
1. Wear eye protection.
2. Make sure that all covers are installed in place
before operation.
3. Handle the blades very carefully.
4. Check the blades carefully for cracks or damage
before operation. Replace cracked or damaged
blades immediately.

to install the proper outlet. Do not change the
plug in any way.
VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the tool to a
power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure the volt-
or
age supplied is the same as that specified on the name-
plate of the tool. A power source with voltage greater
than that specified for the tool can result in SERIOUS
INJURY to the user – as well as damage to the tool. If in
doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power
source with voltage less than the nameplate rating is
harmful to the motor.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD: 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 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 heavier the cord.

9. Do not leave the tool running.
10. Do not abuse cord. Never yank cord to discon-
nect it from receptacle. Keep cord away from
heat, oil water and sharp edges.
