17. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it

on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.

18. Disconnect the plug from the power

source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the tool.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the tool accidentally.

19. Store idle tools out of reach of children

and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

20. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting

tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely
to bind and are easier to control.

21. Check for misalignment or binding of

moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tools

operation. If damaged, have the tool ser-
viced before using.
Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.

22. Use only accessories that are recom-

mended by the manufacturer for your
model.
Accessories that may be suitable for
one tool, may become hazardous when used
on another tool.

SERVICE

23. Tool service must be performed only by

qualified repair personnel. Service or main-
tenance performed by unqualified personnel
could result in a risk of injury.

24. When servicing a tool, use only identical

replacement parts. Follow instructions in
the Maintenance section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance instructions may create a risk of
electric shock or injury.

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 num-
ber, the heavier the cord.
