Extension Cords - Genesis GMT35T Operator's Manual

• Avoid accidental starting. ensure the switch is in
the off position before plugging in. Carrying power tool
with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting keys or wrenches
before turning the power tool on. a wrench or
key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may
result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and
balance at all times. loss of balance can cause an injury
in an unexpected situation.
• If devices are provided for connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. use of these devices can reduce dust related
hazards.
• Do not use a ladder or unstable support.
stable footing on a solid surface enables better control
of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Keep tool handles dry, clean and free from
oil and grease. slippery handles cannot safely
control the tool.
TOOL USE AND CARE
• Secure the workpiece. use clamp or other
practical way to hold the workpiece to a stable platform.
holding the workpiece by hand or against your body is
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• Do not force the power tool. the tool will
perform the job better and safer at the feed rate for
which it is designed. forcing the tool could possibly
damage the tool and may result in personal injury.
• Use the correct power tool for the job. Don't
force the tool or attachment to do a job for which it is
not designed.
• Do not use a tool if the switch does not
turn it on or off. any tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired or
replaced by an authorized service center.
• Turn the power tool off, and disconnect
the plug from the power source and/or battery pack
from the power tool before making any adjustments,
If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with
adequate size conductors that is capable of
carrying the current necessary for your tool
must be used. this will prevent excessive voltage
drop, loss of power or overheating. grounded tools must
use 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prone plugs and
receptacles.
NOTE:
the smaller the gauge number, the heavier the
cord.
