21. EACH AND EVERY TIME, CHECK FOR
DAMAGED PARTS PRIOR TO USING THE TOOL.
Carefully check all guards to see that they operate
properly, are not damaged, and perform their
intended functions. Check for alignment, binding or
breaking of moving parts. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be immediately repaired or
replaced.
22. CHILDPROOF THE WORKSHOP AREA by
removing switchkeys, unpluggingtools from the
electrical receptacles,and usingpadlocks.
23. DO NOT OPERATE TOOL IF UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL.
24. SECURE ALL WORK. When it is possible, use clamps
or jigs to secure the workpiece. This is safer than
attempting to hold the workpiece with your hands.
25. USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD IN GOOD
CONDITION. When using an extension cord, be sure
to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. The table below shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
amperage rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the larger diameter of
the extension cord. If in doubt of the proper size of an
extension cord, use a shorter and thicker cord. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage result-
ing in a loss of power and overheating. USE ONLY A
3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD THAT HAS A3-PRONG
GROUNDING PLUG AND A 3-POLE RECEPTACLE
THAT ACCEPTS THE TOOL'S PLUG.
GUIDELINES FOR
EXTENSION CORDS
If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure
it is markedwith the suffix "W-A" ("W"inCanada) to
indicatethat it is acceptable for outdooruse.
Be sure your extension cord is properly sized, and in
good electricalcondition.Always replace a damaged
extensioncord or have it repaired by a qualifiedperson
before using it.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAK-
DOWN, grounding provides the path of least resistance
for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock.
This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an
equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
The plug MUST be plugged into a matching electrical
receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service personnel
if you do not completely understand the grounding
instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly
grounded.
USE ONLY A 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD THAT HAS
A3-PRONG GROUNDING PLUG AND A 3-POLE
RECEPTACLE THAT ACCEPTS THE TOOL'S PLUG.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not
fit the electricalreceptacle, have the properelectrical
receptacle installedby a qualifiedelectrician.
IMPROPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION of the
equipment grounding conductor can result in risk of
electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation
(with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment
grounding conductor. DO NOT connect the equipment
grounding conductor to a live terminal if repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary.
