SAFETY GUIDELINES

Some examples of these chemicals are:
.
Your risk from exposure to these chemicals varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure, work in a well-ventilated area and
with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed
to filter out microscopic particles.
**Ampere rating (on t ool face pl ate)
Cord Length Wire Size (A.W.G.)
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole
receptacles that accept the tool’s plug. When using a power tool at a considerable
distance from the power source, use an extension cord heavy enough to carry the
current that the tool will draw. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line
voltage, resulting in a loss of power and causing the motor to overheat. Use the
chart provided below to determine the minimum wire size required in an extension
cord. Only round jacketed
cords listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) should
be used.

**Used on 12 gauge - 20 amp circuit.
NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge
When working with the tool outdoors, use an extension cord that is designed for
outside use. This is indicated by the letters “W-A” or “W” on the cord’s jacket.
