●
Use proper extension cord. 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

overheating. Minimum Gauge for Cord Sets shows the correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.

jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear
protective hair covering to contain long hair.

Always use safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended
function – check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
