heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the larger diameter of the extension cord. If in doubt of the proper size of an extension cord, use a shorter and thicker cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in a loss of power and overheating. USE ONLY A 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD THAT HAS A 3-PRONG GROUNDING PLUG AND A 3-POLE RECEPTACLE THAT ACCEPTS THE TOOL’S PLUG. 29. USE SAFETY GOGGLES AT ALL TIMES—that comply with ANSI Z87.1.

AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND POSITIONS where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the wheel. ALWAYS make sure you have good balance. 16. NEVER stand or have any part of your body in line with the path of the wheel. 17. DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT TURN IT ON AND OFF. Have defective switches replaced by an authorized service center. 18.
31. SAFETY EYESHIELD AND SPARK DEFLECTOR. The safety eyeshields and spark deflectors are adjustable for operator convenience. Operating the grinder without these features attached could result in serious injury. Do not grind with the safety eyeshield raised. Always wear safety glasses for personal protection. ENCH GRINDER SAFETY 32. WORK REST. The work rests are independently adjustable to compensate for wheel wear. Before grinding, make certain the work rests are adjusted properly.
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. The table below shows the correct size to be used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
