ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday
eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses;
they are not safety glasses.
PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a face or dust
mask if the cutting operation is dusty_
PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear hearing
protection during extended periods of operation
DON'T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord
or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep
cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold
work. It's safer than using your hand and it frees
both hands to operate tool.
DON'T OVERREACH, Keep proper footing and
balance at all times Do not use on a ladder or
unstable support.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE, Keep tools
sharp and clean for best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories
DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use, before
servicing, or when changing attachments,
blades, bits, cutters, etc. all tools should be
disconnected from power supply_
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND
WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that
keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from

AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Don't carry
plugged-in tool with finger on switch. Be sure
switch is off when plugging in.
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 fine voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. A wire gage size
(A_WG.) of at least 14 is recommended for an
extension cord t00 feet or tess in length. A cord
exceeding 100 feet is not recommended. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller
the gage number, the heavier the cord,
OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When
tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords
suitable for use outdoors. Outdoor approved
cords are marked with the suffix W-A, for ex_
ample - SJTW-A or SJOW-A
KEEP BLADES CLEAN AND SHARP. Sharp
blades minimize stalling and kickback.
