sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
21. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition
that may affect the tools operation. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using. Many acci-
dents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
22. Use only accessories that are recommended by
the manufacturer for your model. Accessories
that may be suitable for one tool, may become haz-
ardous when used on another tool.
SERVICE
23. Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance per-
formed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk
of injury.
24. When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unau-
thorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance
instructions may create a risk of electric shock or
injury.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD: Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
changing
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. Table 1 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.
