SAFETY

-5-

12. Do not force tool. The machine will do a safer and better job at the rate for which it was designed.

13. Use correct tool. Do not force machine or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

14. Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, neck ties, gloves, jewelry, keep long hair tied up,

etc.

15. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Before turning the machine on, make it a habit to check that

all adjusting keys and wrenches have been removed.

16. Use proper extension cord. Examine the extension cord to ensure it is in good condition. Use the

chart below to determine the correct length and gauge of extension cord needed for your particular
needs. The amp rating of the motor can be found on its nameplate. If the motor is dual voltage, be
sure to use the amp rating for the voltage you will be using. If you use an extension cord with an
undersized gauge or one that is too long, excessive heat will be generated within the circuit increas-
ing the chance of a fire or damage to the circuit. Never use an extension cord that does not have a
ground pin and connected ground wire. Immediately replace an extension cord if it shows any signs
of damage.

17. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

18. Do not leave machine unattended. Wait until it comes to a complete stop before leaving the area.

19. Perform machine maintenance and care. Follow lubrication and accessory attachment instructions

in the manual.

20. Keep machine away from open flame. Operating machines near pilot lights and/or open flames cre-

ates a high risk if dust is dispersed in the area. Dust particles and an ignition source may cause an
explosion. Do not operate the machine in high-risk areas, including but not limited to, those men-
tioned above.

21. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing the intended operation, stop using the

machine! Then contact our service department or ask a qualified expert how the operation should
be performed.

for flying debris to cause eye injury. Always
wear safety glasses or goggles when operat-
ing equipment. Everyday glasses or reading

safety glasses you wear meet the appropri-
ate standards of the American National
Standards Institute (ANSI).
