Use Of Extension Cord
If
the extension cord is intended to be used outdoors, the cord shall be marked
with the suffix W-A following the cord type designation, for example
-
SJTW-
A. to indicate
it
is acceptable for outdoor use. Use an extension cord heavy
enough to carry the current the tool will draw. Undersize cord will cause a drop
in
line voltage resulting
in
loss
of power and over-heating. Make sure the exten-
sion cord is in good condition before using. Use the table below to determine
the proper wire size required in the extension cord.

KeeD Guards In Place and In Working Order.
Never wedge or tie lower guard open. Check operation of lower guard before
each use. Don't use
if
lower guard does not close briskly over saw blade.
