DOUBLEINSULATION
Double
insulation is a concept in safety in electric power
tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire
grounded power cord. A)I exposed metal parts are
isolated from the internal metal motor components with
protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need
to be grounded.
_.
WARNING:
The double insulated system is
intended to protect the user from shock resulting
from a break in the tool's internal insulation.Observe
all normal safety precautionsto avoid electdcal
shock.
NOTE: Servicing of a tool with double insulationrequires
extreme care and knowledge of the system and should
be performed only by e qualified service technician. For
service, we suggest you return the toot to your nearest
Sears or other qualified service center for repair. Always
usa odginal factory replacement parts when servicing.
ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION
This tool has a preo{slon-bu(It electr{o motor. It should be
connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz,
AC only {normal household current). Do not operate
this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial vo}tage drop
will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If
your tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet,
double-check the power supply.
EXTENSION
CORDS
When using a power tool at e considerable distance from
a power source, be sure to use an extensioncord that has
the capacity to handle the current the tool will draw. An
undersizedcord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting
in overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to
determine the minimum wire size required in an extension
cord. Only roundJacketed cords listed by Underwnter's
Laboratories(UL) should be used.
When working outdoors with a too(, use an extension
cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is
designated with "WA" on the cord'sjacket.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for !oose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

_1= WARNING:
Keep the extension cord clear of the
working area.. Positionthe cord so that it will not get
caught on lumber, tools or other obstructionswhile
you are working with a power tool. Failure to do so
can resultin serious personal injury.
_
WARNING:
Check extension cords b_fore each
use. If damaged replace immediately. Never use tool
with a damaged cord since touching the damaged
area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious
injury.
