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.
DO NOT touch the plug's metal prongs when
y
unplugging or plugging in the cord.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. If you use an
y
extension cord, make sure it is in good condition and
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.
See Extension Cord Chart for correct size depending
on cord length and data plate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next smaller gauge number. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
When working outside, make sure the extension cord
is rated for outdoor use. Consult power connection
section of this manual for Extension Cord Chart and
power connection safety.
DO NOT ABUSE POWER CORDS. NEVER yank
y
cord to disconnect from receptacle, crush cord, or
expose it to heat, oil or sharp objects.
USE PROPER TOOL. Do not force tool to do a task
y
for which it was not designed.
SECURE WORKPIECE. Use clamps or a vise to hold
y
the workpiece when practical. It is safer than using
Dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities may contain chemical
known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples are:
Lead from lead-based paints
y
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products
y
Asbestos dust
y
Arsenic and chromium chemically-treated lumber
y
Your risk from these exposures varies depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure
to these chemicals: work in a well-ventilated area and with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are
specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities.
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water.
If you have any questions or concerns relative to the use of your tool or the contents of this manual, stop using the
