Craftsman 315.268350 Operator's Manual page 2

DOUBLE INSULATION is a safety concept 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 insulation to
protect the user. All exposed metal parts are isolated
from internal metal motor components with
protecting insulation.
A
WARNING:
The double insulated system is
intended to protect the user from shock resulting
from a break in the tool's internal wiring. Observe
all normal safety precautions related to avoiding
electrical shock.
IMPORTANT - Servicing of a tool with double
insulation 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.
A
WARNING:
Do not attempt to operate this
tool until you have read thoroughly and
understand completely all instructions, safety
rules, etc. contained in this manual. Failure
to comply can result in accidents involving
fire, electric shock, or serious personal
injury. Save operator's manual and review
frequently for continuing safe operation, and
instructing others who may use this tool.
READ ALLINSTRUCTIONS

hazards related to this tool.
• GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK by
preventing body contact with grounded surfaces.
For example: Pipes, radiators, ranges,
refrigerator enclosures.
• KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working
order.
• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas
and benches invite accidents.
• AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't

and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force small tool or
attachment to do the job of a heavy duty tool.
Don't use tool for purpose not intended - for
example - A circular saw should never be used
for cutting tree limbs or logs.

clothing or jewelry that can get caught in tool's
moving parts and cause personal injury. Rubber
gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended
when working outdoors. Wear protective hair
covering to contain long hair and keep it from
being drawn into nearby air vents.
• ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES.
Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-resistant
lenses; they are NOT safety glasses.
• PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a face or dust
mask if operation is dusty.
• PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear hearing
protection during extended periods of operation.
• DON'T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord
or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep
cord from heat, oil and sharp edges.
• SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold
work. Both hands are needed to operate the
tool.

balance at all times. Do not use on a ladder or
unstable support.
• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools
sharp at all times, and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating

• DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use, before
servicing, or when changing attachments,
blades, bits, cutters, etc., all tools should be
disconnected from power supply.
• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND
WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that
keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from
tool before turning it on.
