1. If operating the power tool in damp locations is unavoidable, ALWAYS use a

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter to supply power to your tool. ALWAYS wear

electrician's rubber gloves and footwear in damp conditions.

2. DO NOT expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool

will increase the risk of electric shock.

3. ALWAYS periodically inspect tool cords and extension cords for damage. Have

damaged 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.

4. ALWAYS use the proper extension cord and MAKE SURE the cord is in good

condition. ONLY USE a cord that is heavy enough to carry the current your tool

will draw. An undersized cord will cause a current drop in line voltage resulting in a loss

of power and overheating. A wire gauge size AWG (American Wire Gauge) of at least

14 is recommended for an extension cord 25 feet or less in length. If in doubt, use the

next heavier size. Smaller gauge wires, have greater capacity (14 gauge wire has more

capacity than 16 gauge wire).

5. DO NOT abuse the cord. NEVER use the cord 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.

6. When operating a power tool outside, ALWAYS use an outdoor extension cord marked

"W-A" or "W". These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric

shock.
