WARNING:
OR OTHER AIRBORNE 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
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Service your power tool periodically
•
portion of the tool since internal wires may be misplaced or pinched.
EXTENSION CORDS
Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord
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.
