RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)
WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry that can get caught in tool's
moving parts and cause personal injury. Rubber
gloves and nonskid footwear are recommended
when working outdoors. Wear protective hair
covering to contain long hair and keep it from
being drawn into nearby air vents.
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday
eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses;
they are not safety glasses.
PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a face or dust
mask if the operation is dusty.
PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear hearing
protection during extended periods of operation.
DO NOT ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by
cord or yank itto disconnect from receptacle.
Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold
work. It is safer than using your hand and it frees
both hands to operate tool.
DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Do not use on a ladder or
unstable support. Secure tools when working at
elevated positions.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools
sharp and clean for best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use, before
servicing, or when changing attachments, tools
should be disconnected from power supply.

WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that
keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from
tool before turning it on.
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Do not carry
plugged-in tool with finger on switch. Be sure
switch is off when plugging in.
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. A wire gage size
(A.W.G.) of at least 16 is recommended for an
extension cord 100 feet or less in length. A cord
exceeding 100 feet is not recommended. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller
the gage number, the heavier the cord

suitable for use outdoors. Outdoor approved
cords are marked with the suffix W-A, for
example - SJTW-A or SJOW-A.

PERIODICALLY and replace if damaged.

FROM OIL AND GREASE. Always use a clean
cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids,
