prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor plugs. Check with
a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding
provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.

cut or nicks (no matter how deep) in the insulation, D DO O N NO OT T use that cord. Also,
make sure the extension cord is heavy enough to carry the current needed by
the saw (see ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS). D

house” lamp extension cords. These cords can easily overheat and/or catch fire
when used with power tools.

W WA AR RN NIIN NG G:: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products,
and arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
