MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Always keep tools
clean and in good working order Keep all blades
and tool bits sharp°
22° EACH AND EVERY TIME, CHECK FOR DAM_
AGED PARTS PRIOR TO USING THE TOOL.
Carefully check all guards to see that they operate
properly, are not damaged, and perform their
intended functions, Check for alignment, binding or
breaking of moving parts, A guard or other part that
is damaged should be immediately repaired or
replaced.
23. CHILDPROOF THE WORKSHOP AREA by remov-
ing switch keys, unplugging tools from the electrical
receptacles, and using padlocks.
24 DO NOT OPERATE TOOL IF UNDER THE IN-
FLUENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL.
25, SECURE ALL WORK. Use clamps or jigs to secure
the workpiece. This is safer than attempting to hold
the workpiece with your hands.
26 USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD IN GOOD
CONDITION. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one hearty enough to carry the current
your product will draw. The table at right shows the
correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate amperage rating_ If in doubt, use the
next heavier gauge The smaller the gauge number,
the larger diameter of the extension cord. If in doubt
of the proper size of an extension cord, use a short-
er and thicker cord, An undersized cord will cause
and overheating USE ONLY A 3-WIRE EXTENo
SlON CORD THAT HAS A 3-PRONG GROUND-
ING PLUG AND A 3-POLE RECEPTACLE THAT
ACCEPTS THE TOOUS PLUG.
GUIDELINES

IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAK-
DOWN, grounding provides the path of least resistance
for electric current and reduces the risk of electric
shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that
has an equipment grounding conductor and a ground-
ing plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching
electrical receptacle that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordi-
nances°
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not
fit the electrical receptacle, have the proper electrical
receptacle installed by a qualified electrician
IMPROPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION of the equip-
ment grounding conductor can result in risk of electric
shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or
without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding con-
ductor. DO NOT connect the equipment grounding con-
ductor to a live terminal if repair or replacement of the
electric cord or plug is necessary_
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service personnel
if you do not completely understand the grounding
instnJctions,
or if you are not sure the tool is properly
grounded.
USE ONLY A 3-WIRE
EXTENSION
CORD THAT HAS
A 3-PRONG
GROUNDING
PLUG AND A 3-POLE
RECEPTACLE
THAT ACCEPTS
THE TOOL'S
PLUG.
