DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety, in electric
power tools which eliminates the need for the usual
throe-wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal
parts are isolated from intemal metal motor
components with protecting insulation. Double
insulated tools do not need to be grounded.
_k 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, electd¢ shock,
or sadous personal injury. Save owner's manual
and review frequently for continuing safe
operation, and instructing others who may use
this tool.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
KNOW YOUR POWE R TOOL. Read owner's
manual carefully. Lsam its applications and
limitations as well as the specific potential
hazards related to this tool.
GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK by
preventing body contact with grounded surfaces.
For example; pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigera-
tor enclosures.
KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working
order.
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 or Sears Servive Center
for repair. Always use original factory replacement
parts when servicing.
KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas
and benches invite accidents.
AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't
use power tools in damp or wet locations or
expose to rain. Keep work area well lit.
KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All
,it
visitors should wear safety glasses end be kept a
safe distance from work area. Do not let visitors
contact tool or extension cord.
M
n
STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools
should be stored in s dry and high or locked-up
place - out of the reach of children,
DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better
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.
Donl use tool for purpose not intended - for
example - A circular saw should never be used
for cutting tree limbsor logs.

RULESFORSAFEOPERATION(Continued)
WEARPROPERAPPAREL.Donotwearloose
clothingorjewelrythatcangetcaughtintool's
movingpartsandcausepersonalinjury.Rubber
glovesandnonskidfootwear 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 the 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 itto disconnect from receptacle. Keep
cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold
work. It's safer than using your hand and it frees
both hands to operate tool.
DON'T OVERRL_ACH. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Do not use on a ladder or
unstable support. Secure tools when working at
elevated positions.
II
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools
sharp and clean for best and safest performance,
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
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 iton.
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Don't carry
plugged-in tool with finger on switch. Be sure
switch is off when plugging in,
AKE 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. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. A wire gage size
(A.W.G.) of at least 16 is recommended for an
extension cord 100 feet or less in length. A cord
exceeding 100 feet is not recommended. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller
the gage number, the heavier the cord.
OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When
tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords
suitable for use outdoors. Outdoor approved
cords are marked with the suffix W-A, for ex-
ample - SJTW-A or SJOW-A.
KEEP BITS CLEAN AND SHARP. Sharp bits
minimize stalling and kickback.
KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM DRILLING AREA.
Keep hands away from bits. Do not reach
underneath work while bit is rotating. Do not
attempt to remove material while bit is rotating.
NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMO-
SPHERE. Normal sparking of the motor could
ignite fumes.
INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY and if
damaged, have repaired by an authorized
service facility. Stay constantly aware of cord
location.
INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS PERIODI J
CALLY and replace if damaged.
KEEP HANDLES DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE
FRO• OIL AND GREASE. Always use a clean
cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any
strong solvents to clean your tool.
STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL.
Watch what you are doing and use common
sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired.
Do not rush.

POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this tool has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in
a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug
in any way.

frequently and use them to instruct others who
may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool,
loan them these instructions also.
_k 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.
_1_ Look for this symbol to point out important safety precautions. It means'attention!H Your
safety is involved.
WARNING:
The operation of any drill can result in foreign objects being thrown intoyour eyes, which
can result in severe eye damage. Before beginning power tool operation, always wear
safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full face shield when needed. We
recommend Wide Vision Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses
with side shields, available at Sears Retail Stores.
