REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to
see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning
it
on.
15.
AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Don’t carry tool
with
finger on switch.
Be sure switch is OFF when plugging
in.
16.
EXTENSION CORDS. 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.

so
marked.

STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Don’t operate
tool when you are tired.
19.
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 by an authorized
service center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere
in
this instruction
manual. Have defective switches replaced by authorized service center. Don’t
use tool
if
switch does not turn
it
on and off.

GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with grounded
surfaces. For example; pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.
21.
REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
22.
POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully
in
the outlet,
reverse the plug. If
it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install
the proper outlet. Do not change the plug
in
any way.
