ELECTRICAL
SAFETY
cont.
_WARNING:
Double Insulation DOES NOT take the place of normal safety
precautionswhen operating this tool.
3.
BEFORE
plugging in
thetool, BE SURE
that the outlet voltage supplied ts wlthin the
voltage marked on the tool's data plate.
DO
NOT use
"AC
only" rated tools with a DC
power supply°
4.
AVOID body contact with grounded surfaces, such
as

and
refrigerators.

5,
DO
NOT
expose
power tools to rain or wet conditions or use power tools In wet
or damp
locetlons.
Water
entering

Increase
the riskof

6.
INSPECT
tool cords for damage.
Have damaged
tool
cords
repalred
at
a Sears
ServiceCenter°BE SUREto stayconstantly
aware of
the cord
location and keep
itwell
away from
the
moving blade.
7. DO NOT abuse the cord.
NEVER
use the cord to carry the tool by or pull the plug
from the outlet. Keep cordaway
from
heat,otl,sharp

EXTENSION
CORDS
Use a proper extension cord. ONLY
use
cords
listed by
UnderwritersLaboratories(UL)_
Other
extension
cordscan causea
drop
in
line
voltage,
resulting
in
a loss
of powerand
overheatingoftool.
For
this tool
an
AWG (American Wire
Gauge) size of
at 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-gaugewirehas more
capacitythan
16-gauge
wire;
12-gauge
wire
has more
capacitythan14-gauge)oWhenIn
doubt usa the smaller number.
When operating
a power
tool
outdoors,
useanoutdoorextensioncordmarked
"W-A" or
"W".These cords are rated for outdoor use
and
reduce the risk of electrlc
shock.
