RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)
that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed
from tool before turning it on.
20. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Don't carry
plugged-in tools with finger on switch. Be sure
switch is off when plugging in.
21. 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. A wire gage size
(A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an
extension cord 25 feet or less in length. A cord
exceeding 25 feet is not recommended. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the
gage number, the heavier the cord.
22. OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When
tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords
suitable for use outdoors. Outdoor approved
cords are marked with the suffix W-A, for example
- SJTW-A or SJOW-A.
23. KEEP CUTTERS CLEAN AND SHARP. Sharp
cutters minimize stalling and kickback.
24. KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA.
Keep hands away from cutters. Do not reach
underneath work while cutter is rotating. Do not
attempt to remove material while cutter is rotating.
25. NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE.
Normal sparking of the motor could ignite fumes.
26. INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY and
if damaged, have repaired at your nearest Sears
Repair Center. Stay constantly aware of cord
location.
27. INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS PERIODI-
CALLY and replace if damaged.
28. KEEP HANDLES DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE
FROM OIL AND GREASE. Always use a clean
cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products or any strong
solvents to clean your tool.
29. STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing and
use common sense. Do not operate tool when
you are tired. Do not rush.
30. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use
of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it
will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving pads, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may
affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorized service center unless indicated
elsewhere in this instruction manual.
31. DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT
TURN IT ON AND OFF. Have defective switches
replaced by an authorized service center.
32. INSPECT FOR and remove all nails from lumber
before routing.
33. DRUGS, ALCOHOL, MEDICATION. Do not
operate tool while under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or any medication.
34. WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL
CRAFTSMAN REPLACEMENT PARTS.
35. POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this tool has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in
a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug, If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug
in any way.
36. DO NOT USE TOOL UNDER "BROWN-OUT"
OR OTHER LOW VOLTAGE CONDITIONS.
Also, do not use with any device that could cause
the power supply voltage to change.
37. WHEN USING THIS ROUTER WITH A ROUTER
TABLE, HELP PREVENT POSSIBLE SERIOUS
INJURY BY KEEPING THE CUTTER
GUARDED AT ALL TIMES. Use only router
tables, with guards, that have been designed for
use on routers that are of this type, size, and
weight.
38. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Review them
frequently and use them to instruct others who
may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool,
loan them these instructions also.
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals
are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures vades, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
