RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)
•DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It'ssafer than using your hand and frees both hands to operate tool.
USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
Use only a cord heavy er_oughto carry the current your productwill 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.
REMOVE WRENCHES AND ADJUSTING KEYS. Get in the habit of checking - before
turning on 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 conditionsthat may affect its operation. A damaged part must be properly repaired or replaced 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 size, style and cutting speed for the material and the type of cut. Blade teeth should point down toward the front of the table.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Using improper accessories may risk injury.
USE ONLY SEARS REPLACEMENT PARTS. All repairs, whether electrical or mechanical, should be made by a qualified service technician at a Sears store or repair center.
KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in good working order. This includes the blade guard, riving knife, and
CHECK DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.
