6. ALWAYS
check
for damaged
parts.
Before further
use of the tool, a
guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully
checked to
determine
if it will operate
properly
and perform
its intended
function.
Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts
and any other condition
that mayaffect
the tool s operation.
A guard or
other part that is damaged,
should be properly
repaired
or replaced
at
a Sears Service
Center.
Following.this
rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock, fire or serious injury.
7. DO NOT abuse
the cord. NEVER
use the cord to carry the tool or pull
the plug from the outlet.
Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp
edges
or moving
parts.
Replace
damaged
cords
immediately.
Damaged
cords
increase the risk of electric shock. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of
electric
shock or fire.
8. ALWAYS
make
sure
that your
extension
cord
is in good
condition.
When
using
an extension
cord be sure
to use one that is heavy
enough
to carry
the current
that your tool will draw. A wire gauge
size (A.W.G.)
of at least 16 is recommended
for an extension
100 feet
or less in length.
Using
an extension
cord
that is over 100 feet in
length
is not recommended.
If in doubt,
use the next heavier
gauge.
Smaller
gauge
wires,
have greater
capacity
(16 gauge wire
has more
capacity
than
18 gauge
wire).
An undersized
cord wiLl cause a drop in
line voltage,
resulting
in loss of power and overheating.
9. ALWAYS
inspect
and remove
all nails from
lumber
before
