• 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 gauge. The smaller the gauge number the heavier the cord.
WEARPROPERAPPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, necktie’s, rings, bracelets, or other jewellery which
may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to
contain hair.
ALWAYSUSESAFETYGLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
