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 the correct size to use depending
on cord length and nameplate ampere rating.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

clothing, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other
jewelry which may get caught in moving parts.
Nonslip footwear is recommended.
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
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.
