Grizzly G9906 - Manual (Page 4)

No list of safety guidelines can be
complete. Every shop environment is
different. Always consider safety
first, as it applies to your individual
working conditions. Use this and
other machinery with caution and
respect. Failure to do so could result
in serious personal injury, damage to
equipment or poor work results.

9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD
for the tool. Make sure your exten-
sion cord is in good condition.
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 extension cords if they
become damaged.

10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not
wear loose clothing, gloves, neck-
ties, rings, bracelets, or other jewel-
ry which may get caught in moving
parts. Non-slip footwear is recom-
mended. Wear protective hair cover-
ing to contain long hair.
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES.
Also use face or dust mask if cutting
operation is dusty. Everyday eye-
glasses only have impact resistant
lenses, they are NOT safety glass-
es.
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.
13. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.

18. 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 proper-
ly 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.
