INTRODUCTION
DOU~LE INSULATION is a concept in safety, in
electric power tools, which eliminates the need for
the usual three wire grounded power cord and
grounded supply system. Wherever there is electric
current in the
_
tool there are two complete sets of
insu lation to protect the user. All exposed metal
parts are isolated from the internal metal motor
components with protecting insulation.
IMPORTANT-Servicing of a tool with double in-
sulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the
system and should be performed only by a qualified
service technician
.
For service we suggest you
return the tool to your nearest Sears Store for repair
.
Always use original factory replacement parts when
servicing
.
RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
The electronic braking feature stops the saw blade
almost instantly to protect the operator when the
switch trigger is released
.
A flash of light will be
visible as the brake engages
.
This flash is normal
and indicates that the brake is working correctly.
A kick-proof clutch allows blade to slip on the
spindle should binding or jamm
in
g occur. An ex-
clusive riving knife has been added to assure
maximum safety.
Additional features include a rip guide for making
fast, smooth, consistent rip cuts without penciled
lines; push button arbor lock for fast, easy blade
changeover; and easy view saw blade port with
directed air flow for keeping line of cut clear.
