non-skid footwear are recommended when working out-
doors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
• USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if
cutting operation is dusty.
• DON’T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or yank it
to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil,
and sharp edges.
• SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It’s
safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to oper-
ate tool.
• DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times.
• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and
clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions
for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords
periodically and if damaged, have repaired by authorized
service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and
replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from
oil and grease.
• DISCONNECT OR LOCK OFF TOOLS when not in use,
before servicing, and when changing accessories, such as
blades, bits, cutters.
• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form
habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches
are removed from tool before turning it on.
• AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Don’t carry tool
with finger on switch. Be sure switch is off when plugging
in.
• EXTENSION CORDS. Use only 3-wire extension cords
that have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole recep-
tacles that accept the tool’s plug. Replace or repair dam-
2
aged cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good con-
dition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage result-
ing in loss of power and overheating. The following table
shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

• OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When tool is used
outdoors, use only extension cords intended for use out-
doors and so marked.
• STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing. Use common
sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired.
• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool,
a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate properly and per-
form its intended function. Check for alignment of moving
parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mount-
ing, and any other conditions that may affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorized service center unless
otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction manual.
