SERVICE []
[]
Have your power tooJ serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
_11I_WARNING! To reduce the risk of injury, user must
read instruction manual.
When servicing a power tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance
instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.
[] Wear ear protectors with impact drills. Exposure to
noise can cause hearing loss.
[] Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss of
control can cause personal injury.
[] Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the cutting
tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal
parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
[] Know your power tool. Read operator's manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as
well as the specific potential hazards related to this
tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock, fire, or serious injury.
[] Always wear eye protection with side shields
marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so
could result in objects being thrown into your eyes and
other possible serious injuries.
[] Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of serious personal injury.
[] Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection
during extended periods of operation. Following this
rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
[] Inspect tool cords periodically and, if damaged,
have repaired at your nearest Sears or other
qualified service center. Constantly stay aware of
cord location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock or fire.
[] 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 should be
properly repaired or replaced by an authorized
service center. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of shock, fire, or serious injury.
[] 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. A wire gauge size (A.W.6.} of at least
14 is recommended for an extension cord 50 feet
or less in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not
recommended. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier
the cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
[] Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before
using this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of serious personal injury.
[] If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced only by the manufacturer or by an authorized
service center to avoid risk.
[] Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently
and use them to instruct others who may use this
tool. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these
instructions also.
A
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure
to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
