Toreduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider

 

than the other). This equipment must be used with a suitable polarized 2 wire or 3 wire

 

extension cord. Polarized connections will fit together only one way. Make sure that the

 

receptacle end of the extension cord has large and small blade slot widths. If the plug does not

 

fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, obtain a suitable

 

extension cord. If the extension cord does not fit fully into the outlet, contact a qualified

 

electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not modify the appliance plug or extension cord in

 

any way.

manual. The operator is responsible for following warnings and instructions in this manual and

 

on unit. Restrict use of this power tool to persons who read, understand and follow warnings

and instructions in this manual and on unit.

intended.

working outdoors. Do not go barefoot or wear sandals. Wear protective hair covering to

contain long hair.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

USE SAFETY GLASSES AND OTHER SAFETY EQUIPMENT. Use safety goggles or safety

 

glasses with side shields, complying with applicable safety standards and, when needed, a

 

face shield. Also use face or dust mask if operation is dusty. This applies to all persons in the

EXTENSION CORDS. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Cord insulation must

 

be intact with no cracks or deterioration. Plug connectors must be undamaged. When using an

 

extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your productwill draw. An

 

undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and

 

overheating, which can shorten the life of the motor. The table 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.
