MK-212 SAW SAFETY
• Ensure that any electrical extension cord is protected against damage. Always ensure that the
electrical extension cord is not trapped underneath the machine. 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 that will result in a loss of power and overheating. The Table shown on
page 9 shows the correct AWG size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating.
If in doubt, use the next heaviest gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
• CAUTION must be observed while servicing the machine. Rotating parts can cause injury if contacted.
• Before starting the machine, check that all guards are in position and correctly fitted.
• Keep area around the machine clear of obstructions which could cause persons to fall onto moving parts.
