21. EACH AND EVERY TmME,CHECK FOR DAM-
AGED PARTS PRmORTO USmNGTHE TOOL.
Carefully check aH guards to see that they operate
properUy, are not damaged, and perform their
intended functions. Check for alignment, binding or
breaking of moving parts. A guard or other part that
is damaged shouUd be immediateUy repaired or
repUaced.
22. CHILDPROOF THE WORKSHOP AREA by remov-
ing switch keys, unplugging tools from the electrical
receptacles, and using padlocks.
23, DO NOT OPERATE TOOLS IF UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL.
24. SECURE ALL WORK. When it is possible, use
clamps or jigs to secure the workpiece. This is safer
than attempting to hold the workpiece with your
hands.
25, STAY ALERT, WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING,
AND USE COMMON SENSE WHEN OPERATING
A POWER TOOL. DO NOT USE A TOOL WHILE
TIRED OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS,
ALCOHOL, OR MEDmCATmON,A moment of inat-
tention while operating power tooUsmay resuUt in
serious personaU injury.
26, ALWAYS WEAR A DUST MASK TO PREVENT
INHALING DANGEROUS DUST OR AIRBORNE
PARTICLES, including wood dust, crystalline sHba
dust and asbestos dust, Direct particles away from
face and body, Always operate tool in well ventilat-
ed area and provide for proper dust removal, Use
dust collection system wherever possible, Exposure
to the dust may cause serious and permanent res-
piratory or other injury, including silicosis (a serious
lung disease), cancer, and death, Avoid breathing
the dust, and avoid prolonged contact with dust,
Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes, or lay
on your skin may promote absorption of harmful
material, Always use properly fitting NIOSH/OSHA
approved respiratory protection appropriate for the
dust exposure, and wash exposed areas with soap
and water,
27, USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD IN GOOD
CONDITION. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw, The table to the right shows
the correct size to use depending on cord length
and nameplate amperage rating, if in doubt, use the
next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number,
the larger diameter of the extension cord. if in doubt
of the proper size of an extension cord, use a short°
er and thicker cord. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in a loss of power and
overheating, USE ONLY A 3_WIRE EXTENSION
CORD THAT HAS A 3-PRONG GROUNDING
PLUG AND A 3-POLE RECEPTACLE THAT
ACCEPTS THE TOOL'S PLUG.
GUIDEUNES FOR
EXTENSUON CORDS
