RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)
m
U_E THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make
sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When usingan extension cord, be sure to use
one heavy enough to carry the current your
productwilldraw. An undersizedcord willcause
a drop in linevoltage resultingin'loss of power
and overheating. A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at
least 18 is recommended for an extension cord
25 feet or less in length. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the
heavier the cord.
m
INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS PERIODI-
CALLY and replace if damaged.
DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear looseclothing,
gloves, neckties, rings,bracelets, or other
jewelry. They can get caught and draw you into
moving parts. Rubber glovesand nonslip foot-
wear are recommended. Alsowear protective
hair coveringto contain long hair.
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH
SIDE SHIELDS. Everyday eyeglasses have only
impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT safety
glasses.
PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a face or dust
mask ifthe cutting operation isdusty.
PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear hearing
protectionduring extended periods of operation.
SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold
work when practical. It's safer than usingyour
hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
• DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools
sharp and clean for better and safer perfor-
mance. Followinstructionsfor lubricatingand
changing accessories.
DISCONNECT ALL TOOLS. When not in use,
before servicing,or when changingattachments,
blades, bits,cutters, etc., all toolsshould be
disconnected from power supply.
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Be sure
switch is offwhen pluggingin.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The
use of improper accessories may cause riskof
injury.
NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injurycould
occurif the tool istipped or ifthe blade is unin-
tentionallycontacted.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use
of the tool, a guard or other part that isdamaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it
m
willoperate properly and perform itsintended
function. Check for alignment ofmoving parts,
bindingof movingparts, breakage of parts, saw
stability,mountingand any other conditionsthat
may affect itsoperation. A guard or other part
that isdamaged mustbe properly repaired or
replaced by a qualified service technicianat a
Sears store to avoid risk of personal injury.
DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work intoa blade
or cutter againstthe direction of rotationofthe
blade or cutter only.
NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT-
TENDED. TURN THE POWER OFF. Do not
leave tooluntil itcomes to a complete stop.
USE ONLY CORRECT BLADES. Use the right
blade size, style and cuttingspeed for the
material and the type of cut. Blade teeth should
pointdown toward the table. Sharp blades
minimize stallingand kickback. Correctly adjust
blade tension.
TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR and minimize
blade breakage, ALWAYS adjust the hold down
foot tojust clear the workpiece. Never operate
the saw with any guard or cover removed. Make
sure all guards are operating properly before
each use.
KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA.
Do not hand hold pieces so small that your
fingers go under the blade guard. Never reach
underneath work or behind, under, or within
three inches of the blade and itscutting path with
your hands and fingers for any reason. Do not
attemptto remove cutmaterial when blade is
moving.
,_k WARNING: Blades coast afterturn off.
• AVOID PINCHING THE BLADE. Be cautious
when cuttingoff material which is irregularin
cross section. Forexample, molding mustlay flat
on the table and not be permitted to rock.
• DO NOT ABUSE CORD. Never yank cord to
disconnect itfrom receptacle. Keep cord from
heat, oil, and sharp edges.
• INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY and if
damaged, have repaired by a qualified service
technicianat a Sears store. Stay constantly
aware of cord locationand keep itwell away
from the rotatingblade.
• DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT
TURN IT ON AND OFF. Have defective switches
replaced bya qualified service technician at a
Sears store.
