Page 4 ■ USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. 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 cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Page 5 ■ BEFORE MAKING A CUT, BE SURE ALL ADJUST- MENTS ARE SECURE. ■ BEFORE CHANGING THE SETUP, REMOVING COV- ERS, GUARDS OR BLADE, UNPLUG THE SAW. ■ DO NOT FEED THE MATERIAL TOO QUICKLY while cutting. Do not force the workpiece against the blade.
Page 6 EXTENSION CORDS Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong ground- ing plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug. When using a power tool at a considerable distance from the power source, use an extension cord heavy enough to carry the current that the tool will draw.
