It has been found that electric tools are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure when they are used on fiberglass boats, sports cars, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster. The chips and grindings from these materials are highly abrasive to electric tool parts such as bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, it is not recommended that this tool be used for extended work on any fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster. During any use on these materials it is extremely important that the tool is cleaned frequently by blowing with an air jet.
,_ WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or
safety glasses with side shields during power tool
operation or when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication is required.
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. To keep the loss to a minimum and to prevent tool overheating, use an extension cord that is heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw.
A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or less in
length. When working outdoors, use an extension cord that is suitable for outdoor use. The cord'sjacket will be marked WA.
CAUTION: Keep extension cords away from the cutting area and position the cord so that it will
not get caught on lumber, tools, etc., during cutting operation,
,_ WARNING: Check extension cords before each use. If damaged replace immediately. Never use
tool with a damaged cord since touching the damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.
Extension cords suitable for use with your circular saw are available at your nearest Sears Retail Store.
