TABLE A
9.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 over- heating. Table A shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
10.WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neck- ties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recom- mended. Wear protective hair cover- ing to contain long hair.
11.ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eye-
glasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
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.DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14.MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and chang- ing accessories.
15.DISCONNECT TOOLS before ser- vicing; when changing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters, and the like.
16.REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTEN- TIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in off position before plug- ging in.
17.USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSO- RIES. 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 per- form 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.
