• Maintain power tools with care. Check for proper alignment and binding of moving parts, component
breaks, and any other conditions that may affect the tool's operation. A guard or any other part that is
damaged must be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center to avoid risk of personal injury.
• Use recommended accessories. Using accessories and attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer or intended for use on this type tool may cause damage to the tool or result in personal injury to
the user. Consult the operator's manual for recommended accessories.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Feed the workpiece in the correct direction and speed. feed the workpiece into a blade, cutter,
or abrasive surface against the direction of the cutting tool's direction of rotation only. Incorrectly feeding the
workpiece in the same direction may cause the workpiece to be thrown out at high speed.
• Never leave the tool running unattended, turn the power off. Do not leave the tool until it
comes to a complete stop.
• Never start the power tool when any rotating component is in contact with the
workpiece.
WARNING:
particles, including wood dust, crystalline silica dust and asbestos. Direct particles
away from face and body. Always operate tool in a well-ventilated area and provide for
proper dust removal. Use dust collection system wherever possible. Exposure to the
dust may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury, including silicosis (a
serious lung disease), cancer, and death. Avoid breathing the dust, and avoid prolonged
contact with the dust. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes, or lay on your skin
may promote absorption of harmful material. Always use properly fitting NIOSH/OSHA
approved respiratory protection appropriate for dust exposure, and wash exposed areas
with soap and water.
SERVICE
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
• Service your power tool periodically. When cleaning a tool, be careful not to disassemble any portion
of the tool since internal wires may be misplaced or pinched.
EXTENSION CORDS
Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord
use either a two or three wire extension cord. As the distance from the power supply outlet increases, you must
use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop
in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. Refer to the table shown below to determine the
required minimum wire size.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. for example: a 14-gauge cord
can carry a higher current than a 16-gauge cord. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total
length, be sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. If you are using one extension cord
for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum wire
size.
Guidelines for Using Extension Cords
• If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the suffix "W-A" ("W" in Canada) to indicate
that it is acceptable for outdoor use.
• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged
extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
