21. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner's manual for recommended accessories. The
use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
22. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is
unintentionally contacted.
23. 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 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 damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced.
24. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or
cutter only.
25. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don't leave tool until it comes to a
complete stop.
26. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• Lead from lead based paint
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from those 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 specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles
27. Do not operate this machine while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.
28. Tighten all locks before operating.
29. 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 will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 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.
