9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD
for the tool. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
Conductor size should be in accordance with the chart below. The
amperage rating should be listed on
the motor or tool nameplate. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in

the side of the cutter and turn silver
collet with fingers until the lock
engages.

pressed, tighten the collet with the
supplied wrench until securely seated. Do not over tighten.
Operating the cutting tool
