1. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
2. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.
Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjust-
ing wrenches are removed from tool before turning it
on.
3. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents.
4. DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT.

expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
5. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept

8. USE RIGHT TOOL Don’t force tool or attachment
to do a job for which it was not designed.
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 under-
sized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows the cor-
rect size to use depending on cord length and name-
plate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the
cord.
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL Do not wear loose
clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other
jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Non-
slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair
covering to contain long hair.

glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting opera-

and it frees both hands to operate tool.

balance at all times.

and clean for best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

tentionally contacted.
