RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)
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 16 is recommended for an
extension cord 100 feet or less in length. A cord
exceeding 100 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. NEVER USE THIS OR ANY POWER SANDER
FOR WET SANDING. Failure to comply can result
in electrical shock causing serious injury or worse.
24. KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM SANDING AREA.
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 PERIODICALLY
and replace if damaged.
28. KEEP HANDLES DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE

cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products or any strong
solvents to clean your tool.

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.
