and balance enables better control ofthe
tool i nunexpected situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate
conditions.
Tool Use and Care
• Use clamps or other practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by
hand or against your body is unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool
for your application. The correct tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it is designed.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn
it on or off. Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power
source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the tool. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the
tool accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of reach of children
and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting
tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained tools, with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
• Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect the
tools operation. If damaged, have the
tool serviced before using. Many
accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
• Use only accessories that are
recommended by the manufacturer for
your model. Accessories that may be
suitable for one tool, may become
hazardous when used on another tool.
• Use only accessories recommended
for this tool that are sold by Sears or a
Craftsman outlet. Use of any
accessories purchased elsewhere may
be hazardous, and will also void your
warranty.
Service
• Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel could result in a risk of injury.
• When servicing a 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 electric
shock or injury.
_ecific Safety Rules
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. (CCA)
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.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust
from power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear
protective clothing and wash
exposed areas with soap and water.
Allowing dust to get into your mouth,
eyes, or lay on the skin may promote
absorption of harmful chemicals.
-_ WARNING: Use of this tool can
generate and/or disburse dust, which
may cause serious and permanent
respiratory or other injury. Always use
NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory
protection appropriate for the dust
exposure. Direct particles away from face
and body.
_, CAUTION: Wear appropriate hearing
protection during use. Under some
conditions and duration of use, noise from
this product may contribute to hearing
loss.
