SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS cont.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY cont.
4. AVOID body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.
5. DO NOT expose power tools to rain or wet conditions or use power tools in
wet or damp locations. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
6. INSPECT tool cords for damage. Have damaged tool cords repaired at a Sears
Service Center. BE SURE to stay constantly aware of the cord location and keep
it well away from the moving blade.
7. DO NOT abuse the cord. NEVER use the cord to carry the tool by or to 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.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use a proper extension cord. ONLY use cords listed by Underwriters Laboratories
(UL). Other extension cords can cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of
power and overheating of tool. For this tool an AWG (American Wire Gauge) size of a
least 14-gauge is recommended for an extension cord of 25 - ft. or less in length. Use
12 - gauge for an extension cord of 50 - ft. Extension cords 100-ft. or longer are not
recommended. Remember, a smaller wire gauge size has greater capacity than
a larger number (14 - gauge wire has more capacity than 16-gauge wire; 12-gauge
wire has more capacity than 14 - gauge). When in doubt use the smaller number.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an outdoor extension cord marked
"W-A" or "W". These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric
shock.
CAUTION:
!
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area.
Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, tools, parts of the
vehicle or other obstructions while you are working with a power tool.
WARNING:
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged
!
replace immediately. Never use tool with a damaged cord since touching
the damaged area could cause electrical shock, resulting in serious injury.
