If the plug is connected to a receptacle while the switch is in the ON position, the power tool will start operating immediately and can cause serious injury. 3. Extension cord When the work area is far away from the power source, use an extension cord of sufficient thickness and rated capacity. The extension cord should be kept as short as practicable. WARNING: Damaged cord must be replaced or repaired. 4. Check the receptacle If the receptacle only loosely accepts the plug, the receptacle must be repaired. Contact a licensed electrician to make appropriate repairs. If such a fautly receptacle is used, it may cause overheating, resulting in a serious hazard. 5.
