runs up to 100 feet, use a 14 AWG or larger gauge cord. For runs up to 150 feet, use a 12 AWG or
larger gauge cord. Runs over 150 feet are not recommended. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which
may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair.
Wear eye protection. Always use safety glasses. Also use face or dust masks if the cutting operation is
dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to hold the work when it’s practical. It’s safer than using your hand and it
frees both hands to operate the tool.
Don’t overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions
for lubricating and changing accessories.
Reduce the risk of unintentional starting. Make sure the switch is in the off position before plugging in the
machine.
Disconnect tools before servicing; when changing accessories, such as blades, bits cutters, and the like.
Use recommended accessories. Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories. The use
of improper accessories may cause a risk of injury.
Never stand on a tool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is
unintentionally contacted.
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.
Direction of feed. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter
only.
Never leave the tool running unattended. Turn the power off. Don’t leave the tool until it comes to a
complete stop.
Drugs, alcohol, medication. Do not operate this machine while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
any medication.
Health hazards. 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.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
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 specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.
