USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD

. Make

sure your extension cord is in good condi-
tion. Conductor size should be in accor-
dance with the chart below. The amperage
rating should be listed on the motor or tool
nameplate. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Your extension
cord must also contain a ground wire and
plug pin. Always repair or replace exten-
sion cords if they become damaged.

10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL.

DO NOT

wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties,
rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may
get caught in moving parts. Non-slip
footwear is recommended. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair.

Also

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

work when practical. It’s safer than using your
hand and frees both hands to operate tool.

Keep proper

footing and balance at all times.

Keep

tools sharp and clean for best and safest
