9. USE 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 product will draw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss
of power and overheating. Table A 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.
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not
wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties,
rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which
may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip
footwear is recommended. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair.
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also
use face or dust mask if cutting operation is
dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact
resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a
vise to hold work when practical. It's
safer than using your hand and it
frees both hands to operate tool.
