ment of your equipment and the installed wiring to
eliminate the need for an extension cord. If an exten-
sion cord is necessary, refer to the chart in the
Grounding Instructions section to determine the min-
imum gauge for the extension cord. The extension
cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin.
9. DO NOT pull a machine by the power cord. NEVER
allow the power cord to come in contact with sharp
edges, hot surfaces, oil or grease.
10. DO NOT unplug a machine by pulling on the power
cord. A WAYS grasp the plug, not the cord.

machine and disconnecting the power.
13. NEVER turn on the machine if the workpiece is in
contact with the cutterhead.
14. ENSURE that the machine sits firmly on the floor be-
fore using. If the machine wobbles or is unstable, cor-
rect the problem by using shims or blocks prior to
operation.
