16.EXTENSION CORDS. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure t o use one heavy enough t o carry the current your product will draw. A n undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size t o use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the
heavier the cord.

22.NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don't leave tool until it comes t o a complete stop.
23.PROPER GROUNDING. This tool should be grounded while in use t o protect the operator from electric shock.
24 . POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. Ifthe plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician t o install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
