19.CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other

part that is damaged should be carefully checked to ensure that it will oper- ate properly and perform its intended function - check for alignment of mov- ing parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

20.DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed works into a blade against the direction of rota- tion of the blade only.

21.NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

22.PROPER GROUNDING. This tool should be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.

23.EXTENSION CORDS. Use only three-wire extension cords which have three-prong grounding-type plugs and three-pole receptacles which accept the tool’s plug. Replace or repair damaged or worn cord immediately.

Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an exten- sion 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 overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heav- ier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, out- let, etc.) be sure the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in SERIOUS INJURY to the user - as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power source with voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
