tion and limitations as well as the specific potential

cord and a three-prong
grounding type plug, it
should be plugged into a three hole electrical recep-
tacle. If adapter is used to accommodate
a two-hole
receptacle, the adapter wire must be attached to a
known ground (usually the screw securing receptacle
cover plate). Never remove third prong. Never con-
nect green ground wire to a terminal.
3. Keep guards

and alignment.

ing wrenches are removed from tool before turning it
ON.

must not be slippery due to wax or sawdust.

Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations or
expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
Provide adequate surrounding work space.

mask, if cutting operation is dusty, and ear protec-
tors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods of
