USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD.9.
Make sure your extension cord is in
good condition. When using an exten-
sion cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your prod-
uct will draw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. Table A
shows the correct size to use depending
on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gage. The smaller the gage number, the
heavier the cord.
WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear10.
loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets, or other jewelry which may get
caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear
is recommended. Wear protective hair
covering to contain long hair.
ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also11.
use face or dust mask if cutting operation
is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have

MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep14.
tools sharp and clean for best and saf-

People with pacemakers should consult14.
their physician(s) before use. Electro-
magnetic elds in close proximity to
heart pacemaker could cause pace-

In addition, people with pacemakers
should:
• Avoid operating alone.
• Do not use with power switch locked
on.
• Properly maintain and inspect to avoid
electrical shock.
• Any power cord must be properly
grounded. Ground Fault Circuit Inter-
rupter (GFCI) should also be imple-

to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and ce-
ment or other masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well ventilat-
ed area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks
that are specially designed to lter out

Vibration Safety
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated
or long-term exposure to vibration may
cause temporary or permanent physical
injury, particularly to the hands, arms and
shoulders. To reduce the risk of vibra-
tion-related injury:
Anyone using vibrating tools regularly1.
or for an extended period should rst
be examined by a doctor and then have
regular medical check-ups to ensure
medical problems are not being caused
or worsened from use. Pregnant women
or people who have impaired blood cir-
culation to the hand, past hand injuries,
nervous system disorders, diabetes, or
Raynaud’s Disease should not use this
tool. If you feel any medical or physical
symptoms related to vibration (such as
tingling, numbness, and white or blue
ngers), seek medical advice as soon as
possible.
Do not smoke during use. Nicotine re-2.

To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as6.
explained in this manual. If any abnor-
mal vibration occurs, stop use immedi-

6. (Step for 32208 only.) Using the chart
above, choose which speed you would
like the blade to operate at initially. Slide
the V-Belt (5D) onto the desired Motor
Pulley (3D) position. Then slide the Belt
up over the Middle Pulley (1D) in the
same position.
To set the V-Belt (2C/5D) tension, have7.
an assistant pull down on the Motor
(11A) and hold it in place to put tension
on the Belt. Then test the belt’s tension
by gently pushing in on it in between pul-
leys. If it only deects about 1/2” to 3/4”
from straight, then the belt is properly
tensioned at that motor position. While
the assistant holds the motor at that po-
sition, secure the motor in place with the
previously loose Bolts (D) and Nuts (K).
After tightening, verify that the Motor8.
(11A) and Motor Pulley (1C/3D) are both
still properly aligned with the rest of the
machine and adjust as needed.
