SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND SYMBOLS

Additional Rules For Safe
Operation
I
Know your power tool. Read
operator's manual carefully.
Learn its applications and
limitations, as well as the
specific potential hazards
related to this tool. Following this
rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock, fire, or serious injury.
I
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. A wire gage
size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is
recommended for an extension
cord 100 feet or less in length. A
cord exceeding 100 feet is not
recommended. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gage. The
smaller the gage number, the
heavier the cord. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating.
