Turn the power off and do not leave the 
machine until the spindle comes to a complete 
stop. 

28. Use proper extension cord. Make sure your 

extension cord is in good condition. When using 
an extension cord, 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.
