General Tool Safety Warnings (cont.)

Table A: RECOMMENDED MINIMUM WIRE GAUGE

FOR EXTENSION CORDS

(120 VOLT)

NAMEPLATE

AMPERES

(at full load)

0 – 6 18 16 16 14

6.1 – 10 18 16 14 12

10.1 – 12 16 16 14 12

12.1 – 16 14 12 Do not use.

7. USE 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 A 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.

8. 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.

9. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.

and clean for best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

11. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing;
when changing accessories, such as
blades, bits, cutters, and the like.

12. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL
STARTING. Make sure switch is in
off position before plugging in.

13. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult the owner’s manual for recommended
accessories. The use of improper accessories
may cause risk of injury to persons.

14. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury
could occur if the tool is tipped or if the
cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.

15. 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.

Grounding Instructions

SAFETY OPERATION MAINTENANCESETUP

TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM INCORRECT GROUNDING WIRE CONNECTION
READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:

110-120 V~ Grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs

1. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

2. Do not modify the plug provided – if it will
not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

3. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
The conductor with insulation having an outer
surface that is green with or without yellow
stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor.
If repair or replacement of the electric cord or
plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment­grounding conductor to a live terminal.

4. Check with a qualified electrician or service
personnel if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if in doubt as
to whether the tool is properly grounded.

5. Use only 3-wire extension cords that
have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole
receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.

6. Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

7. This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has
an outlet that looks like the one illustrated above in
125 V~ 3-Prong Plug and Outlet. The tool has a
grounding plug
that looks like the plug illustrated above
in 125 V~ 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.

8. The outlet must be properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all codes and ordinances.

this tool to a different outlet.

Tumbler Safety Warnings

1. Do not use ceramic, wet or water based
media in Tumbler. Use only plastic beads,

ground corn cobs, walnut shells, etc.

2. Do not use to polish stones. A rotary tumbler
(such as 65838 Rotary Rock Tumbler or 65840
Dual Drum Rotary Rock Tumbler) and water­mixed media is required for polishing stones.

3. Do not exceed 5 lb. Tank capacity.

4. Do not use without Cover (4) in place.
Hazardous dust may be created and media
and/or work materials may be ejected.

5. Do not remove Cover immediately after use. Wait
at least 1 hour after tumbling is complete before
opening cover. This will allow dust to settle.

6. Do not place items on Cover during use.

7. When servicing use only identical replacement parts.

8. Only use safety equipment that has been approved
by an appropriate standards agency. Unapproved
safety equipment may not provide adequate
protection. Eye protection must be ANSI-approved
and breathing protection must be NIOSH-approved
for the specific hazards in the work area.

9. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.

10. Industrial applications must follow OSHA guidelines.
