Extension Cords - MasterCraft 054-1237-4 Owner's Manual

ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
– cont'd
The lower guard should be retracted
manually only for special cuts such as
"plunge cuts" and "compound cuts"
Raise lower guard by retracting handle
and as soon as the blade enters the
material, the lower guard must be
released. For all other sawing, the lower
guard should operate automatically.
Always observe that the lower guard is
covering the blade before placing saw
down on the bench or on the floor. An
unprotected, coasting blade will cause the
saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is
in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for
the blade to stop after the switch is
released.
Never operate the saw while it is being
carried to another location. The blade
guard may be open and potentially cause
serious injury.
If the switch fails to turn the saw ON or
OFF properly, stop using it immediately
and have the saw switch repaired.
Always allow the saw to reach full speed
before beginning the cut.
Never use the side of the blade for cutting.
When making horizontal cuts, make sure
the weight of the tool is not forcing the side
of the blade to do the cutting. This will
reduce the risk of kickback.
Make sure there are no nails or foreign
objects in the area of the workpiece to be
cut.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

that is projected from the front of the
laser level can be dangerous to
eyesight. Never allow anyone to stare

into the light beam may result in serious
eye damage.
!

children may stare directly into the laser
light beam causing serious eye injury.

EXTENSION CORDS

!
WARNING:
cord clear of the working area. Position
the cord so that it will not get caught on the
workpiece, tools or any other obstructions
while you are working with the power tool.
Make sure any extension cord that is
used with this tool is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one that is heavy enough to carry the
current that the tool will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage which will result in loss of power
and overheating.
The table on the following page shows the
correct size to be used according to cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. When
in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge number the heavier the
cord.
