21.EACHAND EVERY TIME, CHECK FOR
DAMAGED PARTS PRIOR TO USING THE TOOL.
Carefully check all guards to see that they operate
properly, are not damaged, and perform their
intended functions. Check for alignment, binding or
breaking of moving parts. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be immediately repaired or
replaced.
22. CHILDPROOF THE WORKSHOP AREA by
removing switch keys, unplugging tools from the
electrical receptacles, and using padlocks.
23. DO NOT OPERATE TOOL IF UNDER THE INFLU-
ENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL.
24. SECURE ALL WORK. When it is possible, use
clamps or jigs to secure the workpiece. This is safer
than attempting to hold the workpiece with your
hands.
25. USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD IN GOOD
CONDITION. When using an extension cord, be sure
to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. The table below shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
amperage rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the larger
diameter of the extension cord. If in doubt of the
proper size of an extension cord, use a shorter and
thicker cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in a loss of power and
overheating. USE ONLY A 3-WIRE EXTENSION
CORD THAT HAS A 3-PRONG GROUNDING PLUG
AND A 3-POLE RECEPTACLE THAT ACCEPTS
THE TOOL'S PLUG.
GUIDELINES FOR
EXTENSION CORDS
If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure
it is marked with the suffix "W-A" ("W" in Canada) to
indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.
Be sure your extension cord is properly sized, and in
good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged
extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person
before using it.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR
BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of least
resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of
electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord
that has an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a
matching electrical receptacle that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and
ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit
the electrical receptacle, have the proper electrical
receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
IMPROPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION of the
equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of
electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation
(with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment-
grounding conductor. DO NOT connect the equipment-
grounding conductor to a live terminal if repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service personnel
if you do not completely understand the grounding
instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly
grounded.
USE ONLY A 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD THAT HAS
A 3-PRONG GROUNDING PLUG AND A 3-POLE
RECEPTACLE THAT ACCEPTS THE TOOL'S PLUG.
REPLACE A DAMAGED OR WORN CORD
IMMEDIATELY.
