RULES
FOR SAFE OPERATION
(Continued)
USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD FOR
CHARGER. 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 25 feet or less in length. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller
the gage number, the heavier the cord.
INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS PERIODI-
CALLY and replace if damaged.
DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing,
gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry.
They can get caught and draw you into moving
parts. Rubber gloves and nonslip footwear are
recommended when working outdoors. Also wear
protective hair covering to contain long hair.
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH
SIDE SHIELDS. Everyday eyeglasses have only
impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT safety
glasses.
PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a face or dust
mask if the cutting operation is dusty.
PROTECT YOUR HEARING.
Wear hearing
protection during extended periods of operation.
SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold
work when practical. It's safer than using your
hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
DO NOT OVERREACH.
Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools
sharp and clean for better and safer perfor-
mance. Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories.
DISCONNECT
ALL TOOLS. When not in use,
before servicing, or when changing attachments,
blades, bits, cutters, etc., all tools should be
disconnected
or battery pack removed.
AVOID ACCIDENTAL
STARTING.
Be sure
switch is in the locked or off position before
inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with your
finger on the switch or inserting the battery pack
into a tool with the switch on invites accidents.
•
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use
of improper accessories may cause risk of injury.
•
NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could
occur if the tool kstipped or if the blade is unin-
tentionally contacted.
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 parts, breakage of parts,
mounting and any other conditions that may
affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged must be properly repaired or replaced
by a qualified service technician at a Sears store
to avoid risk of personal injury.
NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT-
TENDED. TURN THE POWER OFF. Do not
leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
FIRMLY CLAMP OR BOLT your miter saw to a
workbench or table at approximately
hip height.
USE ONLY CORRECT BLADES. Do not use
blades with incorrect size holes. Never use blade
washers or blade bolts that are defective or
incorrect. The maximum blade capacity of your
saw is 8-1/4 in.
•
KEEP BLADES CLEAN, SHARP AND WITH
SUFFICIENT SET. Sharp blades minimize
stalling and kickback.
•
DO NOT REMOVE THE SAW'S BLADE
GUARDS. Never operate the saw with any guard
or cover removed. Make sure all guards are
operating properly before each use.
•
KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA.
Keep hands away from blades. Do not reach
underneath work or around or under the blade
while blade is rotating. Do net attempt to remove
cut material when blade is moving.
A
WARNING:
Blade coasts after turn off.
DO NOT ABUSE CORD. Never yank cord to
disconnect it from receptacle. Keep cord from
heat, oil, and sharp edges.
INSPECT CHARGER CORD PERIODICALLY
and if damaged, have repaired by a qualified
service technician at a Sears store. Stay con-
stantly aware of cord location and keep it well
away from the rotating blade.
USE OUTDOOR EXTENSION CORDS FOR
CHARGER. When tool is used outdoors, use
only extension cords with approved ground
connection that are intended for use outdoors
and so marked.
DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT
TURN IT ON AND OFF. Have defective switches
replaced by a qualified service technician at a
Sears store.
