9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD

. Make

sure your extension cord is in good condi-

tion. Conductor size should be in accor-

dance with the chart below. The amperage

rating should be listed on the motor or tool

nameplate. An undersized cord will cause

a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of

power and overheating. Your extension

cord must also contain a ground wire and

plug pin. Always repair or replace exten-

sion cords if they become damaged.

10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL.

Do not wear

loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,

bracelets, or other jewelry which may get

caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear

is recommended. Wear protective hair cov-

ering 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 frees both hands to

operate tool.
