It will do the job better and safer at the feed rate for which it was designed.
Don’t force the tool or attachment to do a job it was not designed for. Don’t use it for a purpose not
intended. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Use only a cord heavy
enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss
of power and overheating. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an extension cord 25 feet or
less in length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewellery. They can get caught and draw you into
moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonskid footwear (rubber soled boots) are recommended when working outdoors.

improper accessories may risk injury.
Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally

carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly 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 must be properly repairedor replacedbyan authorized service center to
avoid risk of personal injury. Feed work into
a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of blade or
cutter only.
