• An extension cord must have
adequate wire size (Awg or
American wire gauge) for safety.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire,
the greater the capacity of the cable, that is
16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. When using more than one
extension to make up the total length, be sure
each individual extension contains at least
the minimum wire size. The following table
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.

CAuTiON: Blades coast after turn off.
Serious personal injury may result.
wARNiNg: ALwAyS wear proper
personal hearing protection that
conforms to ANSi S12.6 (S3.19) during
use. Under some conditions and duration
of use, noise from this product may
contribute to hearing loss.
wARNiNg: ALwAyS use proper eye
protection. All users and bystanders must
wear proper eye protection that conforms
to ANSI Z87.1.
wARNiNg: ALwAyS uSE SAfETy
gLASSES. Everyday eyeglasses are
NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust
mask if cutting operation is dusty.
ALWAYS wear certified safety equipment:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA
Z94.3).
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection.
• NIOSH/OSHA respiratory protection.
wARNiNg: Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities contains
chemicals known in the state of California
to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints, crystalline
silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and arsenic and
chromium from chemically-treated lumber
(CCA).
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust
from power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities.
wear protective clothing and wash
exposed areas with soap and water.
Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes,
or lay on the skin may promote absorption
of harmful chemicals.
wARNiNg: Use of this tool can generate
and/or disburse dust, which may cause
serious and permanent respiratory or other
injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved
respiratory protection appropriate for the
dust exposure. Direct particles away from
face and body. Always operate tool in well-
ventilated area and provide for proper dust
removal. Use dust collection system
wherever possible.
