When the work area is removed from the power
source, use an extension cord of sufficient thickness
and rated capacity. The extension cord should be
kept as short as practicable.

4. Fitting and adjusting the wheel guard

The wheel guard is a protective device to prevent
injury should the depressed center wheel shatter
