wired for operation on 110-120 volts, 60 Hz., alternating
current. (TOOL MUST NOT BE CONVERTED TO OPER-
ATE ON 230 VOLT EVEN THOUGH SOME OF THE
RECOMMENDED MOTORS ARE DUAL VOLTAGE,
CHANGING TO 230 VOLT WILL NOT CONSERVE
ENERGY AND REQUIRES CHANGING THE POWER
CORD PLUG AND MOTOR RECEPTACLE.
THESE CRAFTSMAN MOTORS HAVE BEEN
FOUND TO BE ACCEP1ABLE FOR USE ON

CAUTION: Do not use blower or washing machine motor_
or any motor with an automatic reset overload protector,
as their use may be hazardous.
CONNECTING TO POWER SOURCE OUTLET
This machine must be grounded while in use to protect
the operator from electric shock.
Plug power cord into a 110-120V properly grounded type
outlet protected by a 15-amp dual element time delay or
Circuit-Saver fuse or circuit breaker.
If you are not sure that your outlet is properly grounded,
have it check by a qualified electrician.
WARNING: DO NOT PERMIT FINGERS TO TOUCH THE
TERMINALS OF PLUGS WHEN iNSTALLING OR RE-
MOVING THE PLUG TO OR FROM THE OUTLET.
WARNING: IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED THIS
POWER TOOL CAN CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK
PARTICULARLY WHEN USED IN DAMP LOCATIONS
CLOSE TO PLUMBING. IF AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK
OCCURS THERE IS THE POTENTIAL OF A
SECONDARY HAZARD SUCH AS YOUR HANDS
CONTACTING THE SAW BLADE.
If power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way, have
it replaced irnmediate!v.
If your unit is for use on less than 150 volts it has a plug
that looks like below.

GROUNDING
PRONG
This power tobl is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and
grounding type plug which has a grounding prong, approved
by Underwriters' Laboratories and the Canadian Standards
Association. The ground conductor has a green jacket and
is attached to the tool housing at one end and to the ground
prong in the attachment plug at the other end.
This plug requires a mating 3-conductor grounded type
outlet as shown.
if the outlet you are planning to use for this power tool is
of the two prong type DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER
THE GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MANNER. Use an
adapter as shown below and always connect the grounding
_ug to known ground.
It is recommended that you have a qualified electrician
rep!ace the TWO prong outlet w;th a properly grounded
THREE prong outlet.
A
temporary adapter as shown below is available for
connecting plugs to 2-prong receptacles. The green
grounding lug extending from the adapter must be
connected to a permanent ground such as to a properly
grounded outlet box.
A temporary adapter as illustrated is available for
connecting plugs to 2-prong receptacles. The temporary
adapter should be used only until a properly grounded
outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician,

ADAPTER
NOTE: The adapter illustrated is for use only if you already
have a propedy grounded 2-prong receptacle. Adapter is
not allowed in Canada by the Canadian Electrical Code.
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of
power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent over-
heating and motor burn-out, use the table below to deter-
mine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.) extension co_d. Use
only 3 wire extension cords which have 3 prong grounding
type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tools
plug.

CHECK MOTOR ROTATION
Before checking motor rotation make sure key is removed
from shaft. Place the motor on your workbench or on the
floor. Standing clear of the shaft, plug the cord into a
properly grounded outlet. Notice rotation of the shaft. If
motor is not turning counterclockwise, remove the plug and
contact your Sears store immediately, tf motor turns counter-
clockwise remove the plug and proceed on with the
assembly.
