AREA byremov-
ingswitch keys, u nplugging
tools from the
electrical
receptacles, and using padlocks.
24. DO NOT OPERATE TOOL IF UNDER THE INFLU-
ENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL.
25. SECURE ALL WORK. Use clamps or jigs to secure
the workpiece. This is safer than attempting to hold
the workpiece with your hands.
26. STAY ALERT, WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING,
AND USE COMMON SENSE WHEN OPERATING
A POWER TOOL.
DO NOT USE A TOOL WHILE
TIRED OR UNDER THE iNFLUENCE OF DRUGS,
ALCOHOL,
OR MEDICATION.
A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
27. ALWAYS WEAR A DUST MASK TO PREVENT
INHALING DANGEROUS
DUST OR AIRBORNE
PARTICLES, including wood dust, crystalline silica
dust and asbestos dust. Direct particles away from
face and body. Always operate toot in well ventilat-
ed 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 tung disease), cancer, and death. Avoid
breathing the dust, and avoid prolonged contact
with 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 the dust exposure, and wash
exposed areas with soap and water.
28. USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD IN GOOD
CONDiTiON.
When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw. Please see minimum recom-
mended gauge for extension cords (AWG) table for
correct sizing of an extension cord. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the larger diameter of
the extension cord. If in doubt of the proper size of an
extension cord, use a shorter and thicker cord. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in a loss of power and overheating. USE
ONLY A 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD THAT HAS A
3-PRONG GROUNDING PLUG AND A 3-POLE
RECEPTACLE
THAT ACCEPTS THE TOOL'S PLUG.
GUIDELINES
FOR
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 sized, 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.
