9. 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 A shows

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

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.
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also
use face or dust mask if cutting operation
is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have
impact resistant lenses, they are NOT
safety glasses.
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

Don’t leave tool until it comes to a
complete stop.
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise
to hold work when practical. It’s safer
than using your hand and it frees both
hands to operate tool.

1. In the event of a malfunction or
breakdown, grounding provides a path
of least resistance for electric current
to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This tool is equipped with an electric
cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into a matching
outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.

grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated above in 125 V~ 3-Prong
Plug and Outlet.
8. The outlet must be properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all codes
and ordinances.
2. Do not modify the plug provided – if it will
not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
9. Do not use an adapter to connect this
tool to a different outlet.
3. Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. The conductor with
insulation having an outer surface that
is green with or without yellow stripes is
the equipment-grounding conductor. If
repair or replacement of the electric cord
or plug is necessary, do not connect the
equipment-grounding conductor to a live
terminal.
