12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold
work when practical. It's safer than using your
hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
13. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools

lubricating and changing accessories.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when
changing accessories such as blades, bits,
cutters, and the like.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL
STARTING. Make sure switch is in off position
before plugging in.
17. USE
RECOMMENDED
Consult the owner's manual for recommended
accessories. The use of improper accessories
may cause risk of injury to persons.
18. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury
could occur if the tool is tipped or if the
cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use
of the tool, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function - check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any
other conditions that may affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced.

20. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade
or cutter against the direction of rotation of
the blade or cutter only.

22. REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use
for
only identical replacement parts.
23. POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this equipment has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other). This
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician to install the proper
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the tool to
a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure the
voltage supplied is the same as that specified on
the nameplate of the tool. A power source with
voltage greater than that specified for the tool can
result in SERIOUS INJURY to the user- as well as
damage to the tool. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN
THE TOOL. Using a power source with voltage less
than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
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 1
shows the correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number,
the heavier the cord.
