14.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking t o
see t h a t keys and adjusting wrenches are removed f r o m t o o l before turning
it on.
15. AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Don't carry tool with finger o n switch.
Be sure switch is
OFF when plugging in.
16. EXTENSION CORDS. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure t o use one heavy enough t o carry
the current your product will draw. A n undersized cord will
cause a drop
in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows the
correct size t o use depending o n cord length and nameplate ampere rating.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the
heavier the cord.

22.
POLARIZED PLUGS.
To
reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will f i t in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does n o t f i t fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If
it still does n o t fit, contact a qualified electrician t o install
the proper outlet. Do n o t change the plug in any way.
