• Use the right tool. Don't force a tool or attachment to do a job for which it
was not designed.
Use a 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 gage. The smaller the gage
number, the heavier the cord.

= Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip
footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
• Always use safety glasses. Also use a face or dust mask if the cutting
operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses,
they are not safety glasses.
= Secure your work. Use clamps or a vise to hold work whenever practical.
It's safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool.
= Don't overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for
best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories.
= Disconnect tools before servicing and when changing accessories,
such as blades, bits, cutters, and the like.
= Reduce the risk of unintentional starting. Make sure that the switch is in
the off position before plugging in.
= Use recommended accessories. Consult the owner's manual for
recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause a
risk of injury to persons.
= Never stand on the tool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if
the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
