safer at the rate for which it was designed.
n USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force the tool or attach-
ment to do a job for which it was not designed.
n USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. Use only a cord 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. A wire gauge size
(A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an extension
cord 25 feet or less in length. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier
the cord.
n DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing, neck-
ties, or jewelry that can get caught and draw you into
moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonslip footwear are
recommended when working outdoors. Also wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
n AL WAYS WEAR SA FET Y GLASSES WITH SIDE
SHIELDS. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-resis-
tant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
n SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when
practical, it is safer than using your hand and frees both
hands to operate the tool.
n DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
n MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and
clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions
for lubricating and changing accessories.

EXTENSION CORDS
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from the
power source, use an extension cord heavy enough to carry
the current that the tool will draw. An undersized extension
cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of
power and causing the motor to overheat. Use the chart
provided below to determine the minimum wire size required
in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by
Underwriter's Laboratories (UL) should be used.

**Used on 12 gauge - 20 amp circuit.
NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge
When working with the tool outdoors, use an extension cord
that is designed for outside use. This is indicated by the
letters “WA” on the cord's jacket.
Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
WARNING:
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area.
Position the cord so that it will not get caught on
lumber, tools or other obstructions while you are
working with a power tool. Failure to do so can
result in serious personal injury.
SPEED AND WIRING
The no-load s peed of this tool is ap pro xima tely
3,450/min. This speed is not constant and decreases under
a load or with lower voltage. For voltage, the wiring in a
shop is as important as the motor’s horsepower rating. A
line intended only for lights cannot properly carry a power
tool motor. Wire that is heavy enough for a short distance
will be too light for a greater distance. A line that can
support one power tool may not be able to support two
or three tools.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of a malfunc
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.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
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.
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.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
