CAUTION: Use only Accessories that are recommended by Power Glide for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on
another tool.
Extension Cords
1. 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 gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
2. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W".
These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electrical shock.
3. Use only UL listed extension cords. Inspect extension cord before use and never use damaged
or altered extension cords. Follow extension cord manufacturer safety instruction.
4. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electrical shock.
Recommended Accessories
• Jig Saw Blades
WARNING: Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electrical shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed
below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presences of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks, which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to loose control.
Electrical Safety
1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodfied plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electrical shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges,
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is earthed
or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tool to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electrical shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entaqngled
cords increase the risk of electrical shock.
5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electrical shock.
Personal Safety
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions to
reduce personal injuries.
3. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure switch is in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying
tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control
of the tool in unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
7. If devices are provided for connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-
related hazards.
