way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded} power tools.

radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

at your nearest Sears Service Center. Be aware of the cord location.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of

for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
