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.

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use
face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.
Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant
lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to
hold work when practical. It’s safer than using your
hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.

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

14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep
tools sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories.

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

SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCE SETUP

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

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

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

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.

20. DIRECTION OF FEED.
Feed work into a blade or cutter against the
direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.

21. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED.
TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave tool
until it comes to a complete stop.

Grounding Instructions

SAFETY OPERATION MAINTENANCESETUP

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

110-120 VAC Double Insulated Tools: Tools with Two Prong Plugs

1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, double
insulated 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.

2. Double insulated tools may be used in either of the
120 volt outlets shown in the preceding illustration.

recommended by the manufacturer may
result in a risk of injury to persons.

17. When servicing use only identical replacement parts.

18. 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.

19. 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.

24. WARNING: Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities, contains chemicals
known [to the State of California] to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints

• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or other
masonry products

• Arsenic and chromium from
chemically treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
(California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)

Vibration Safety

25. WARNING: Handling the cord on this product will
expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State
of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
(California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)

26. The warnings, precautions, and instructions
discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all
possible conditions and situations that may occur.
It must be understood by the operator that
common sense and caution are factors
which cannot be built into this product,
but must be supplied by the operator.

SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCE SETUP

This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or
long-term exposure to vibration may cause
temporary or permanent physical injury,
particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders.
To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:

1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an
extended period should first be examined by a
doctor and then have regular medical check-ups
to ensure medical problems are not being caused
or worsened from use. Pregnant women or
people who have impaired blood circulation to
the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system
disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease should
not use this tool. If you feel any medical or
physical symptoms related to vibration (such as
tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers),
seek medical advice as soon as possible.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces
the blood supply to the hands and fingers,
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.

3. Use tools with the lowest vibration when there
is a choice between different processes.

4. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.

5. Grip workpiece as lightly as possible (while still
keeping safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.

6. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as
explained in this manual. If any abnormal
vibration occurs, stop use immediately.
