o.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORDS. Make sure
your
extension cord
is
in
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
result
in
a drop
in
line voltage and
in
loss
of
power which will cause the tool
to overheat. The table
on
page 8 shows the correct size to use depending
on
cord
length
and
nameplate ampere rating.
If
in
doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
11. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clot@ng, gloves, neckties,
,
_,
rings, bracelets or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts.
Nonslip footwear
is
recommended. Wear protective h~ir covering to contain
long hair.

installed
by
a qualified electrician.
Improper connection
of
the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk
of
electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green
with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement
of
the
electric
cord
or
plug is necessary, do
not
connect
the
equipment-grounding-conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if thegrounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if
in
doubt as to whether the machine is properly
grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-pronged
grounding
type
plugs
and
matching 3-conductor receptacles that accept the machine's plug, as shown in Fig.
A.
Repair orreplace damaged orworn cord immediately.
MINIMUM GAUGE
FOR
CORD SETS
Use proper extension cords. Make sure_your extension cord is in good condition
and is a 3-wire extension cord which has a 3-pronged grounding type plug and
matching receptacle which will accept the machine's
plug
. When using an extension
cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current
of
the machine.
An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss
of
power and
overheating. The table shows the correct gauge to use depending on the cord
length. If
in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
