EXTENSION CORDS
Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord
either a two or three wire extension cord. As the distance from the power supply outlet increases, you must use a
heavier gauge extension cord. using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage,
resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. Refer to the table shown below to determine the required
minimum wire size.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. for example: a 14-gauge cord can
carry a higher current than a 16-gauge cord. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length,
be sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. If you are using one extension cord for more
than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum wire size.
Guidelines for Using Extension Cords
• If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the suffix "W-A" ("W" in Canada) to
indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.
• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged
extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR CORDLESS ROTARY TOOLS
WARNING:
(GAINED FROM REPEATED USE) REPLACE STRICT ADHERENCE TO PRODUCT SAFETY
RULES. If you use this tool unsafe or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury!
WARNING:
operation where cutting tools may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a
"live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator!
Use only accessories rated for the speed recommended

higher. Wheels and other accessories running at speeds greater than rated can flay apart and cause personal
injury.
Always hold the tool firmly in your hands
•
torque of the motor as it accelerates to full speed may cause the tool to twist.
Be aware of the switch locatio
•
accidentally activate the switch.
After changing the bits or making any adjustments, make sure the collet nut
