•USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Use only a cord 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 14 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,

•AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Be sure switch is off when plugging in the tool,

•REMOVE WRENCHES AND ADJUSTING KEYS. Get in the habit of checking - before turning on the

tool - that hex keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool,

•CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before using the tool again, check any damaged parts, including guards, for proper operation and performance, Check alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, saw stability, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation, A damaged part must be properly repaired or re- placed by a qualified service technician at a Sears store or repair center to avoid risk of personal injury,

•USE ONLY CORRECT BLADES. Use the right blade style for the material and the type of cut, Use only blades marked for at least 5,000 rpm and 10 in, or smaller, with a 5/8 in. arbor hole,

•KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in good working order, This includes the blade guard, the riving knife, and the anti-kickback pawls.

•CHECK DIRECTION OF FEED. When ripping,

feed work into a blade or cutter against the direc- tion of rotation of the blade or cutter,

•NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN THE POWER OFF. Do not leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop,

•USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Using

improper accessories may risk injury, Consult the Accessories section for recommended accesso-

ries,

•REPLACEMENT PARTS. All repairs, whether electrical or mechanical, should be made by a

qualified service technician at a Sears authorized service center,

•DISCONNECT ALL TOOLS. When not in use, before servicing, or when changing attachments, blades, bits, cutters, etc., all tools should be disconnected from the power supply.

•DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was designed.

•BEFORE MOUNTING, DISCONNECTING OR REMOUNTING THE MOTOR; unplug the saw and remove the switch key.

•WHEN SERVICING, use only identical Sears replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or damage product,

•NEVER USE THIS TOOL IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE. Normal sparking of the motor could ignite fumes,

•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,

•AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND

POSITIONS where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the blade. ALWAYS make sure

you have good balance.

•GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK. Kickback can occur when the blade stalls, driving the work piece back toward the operator, It can cause your hand to contact the blade, resulting in serious personal injury. Stay out of the blade path and turn switch off immediately if blade binds or stalls,

•DO NOT USE A PERSON AS A SUBSTITUTE

FOR A TABLE if additional support is needed, Use a support the same height as the table,

•USE A SUPPORT FOR THE SIDES AND BACK OF THE SAW TABLE when sawing wide or long workpieces to minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickback. Use a sturdy "outrigger" support to prevent tipping if a table extension more than 24 in, long is attached to the saw,
