USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force small tool or attachment to do thejob of a

heavy-dutytool. Don't usetoolfor purpose not intended; for example, don't

use circular saw for cutting tree limbs

logs.

DRESSPROPERLY. Don't wear looseclothingorjewelry. They can becaught

moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended

when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering tocontain longhair.

USE SAFETY GLASSES.

Also

use face or dust mask if cutting operation is

dusty.

DON'T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool bycordor yank

todisconnect from

receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It's safer than using

your hand and

frees both hands to operate tool.

DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and

safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricatingand changing acces-

sories. Inspecttoolcordsperiodicallyandifdamaged, haverepairedbyautho-

rized service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if

damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.

DISCONNECTTOOLS. When not

Be sure switch is OFF when plugging

in.

16. EXTENSIONCORDS. Make sure your extension cord is

good condition.

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

inlinevoltage resultingin

loss

of power and overheating. Table

surfaces. For example; pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.

21.

REPLACEMENTPARTS.When servicing, useonly identicalreplacementparts.

22. POLARIZEDPLUGS. To reducethe risk of electric shock, this equipment has

a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will

fit in

polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not

fit

fully in the outlet,

reversethe plug. If

still does not

fit,
