• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept a safe distance from the work area.
• MAKE THE WORKSHOP KIDPROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.
• DON’T FORCE THE MACHINE. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force a machine or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
• USE THE 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 machine will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in the line voltage resulting in power loss and overheating. The table following shows the correct size to use depending on the cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Remember, the smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
