RULES FOR, SAFE OPERATION (Continued) .
M
When us(rig an extension cord, be sureto use
one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in linevoltage resulting in loss ofpower
and overheating. A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at
least 18 is recommended for an extension cord
25 feet or lessin length. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the
heavier the cord.
INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS PERIODI-
CALLY and replace if damaged.
DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing,
gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other
jewelry. They can get caught and draw you into
moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonslipfoot-
wear are recommended. Also wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair.

SIDE SHIELDS. Everyday eyeglasses have only
impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT safety
glasses.
