!WARNING

●To avoid the risk of personal injury, do not modify this power tool or use accessories not recommended by Sears.

●Read warnings and conditions on your CARBIDE TIPPED SAW BLADE. Do not operate the saw without the proper saw blade guard in place. Carbide is a very hard but brittle material. Care should be taken while mounting, using, and storing carbide tipped blades to prevent accidental damage. Slight shocks, such as striking the tip while handling, can seriously damage the blade. Foreign objects in the workpiece, such as wire or nails, can also cause tips to crack or break off. Before using, always visually examine the blade and tips for bent blade, cracks, breakage, missing or loose tips, or other damage. Do not use if damage is suspected. Failure to heed safety instructions and warnings can result in serious bodily injury.

The blade guard prevents accidental contact with the blade, while the electric brake halts the blade's rotation almost instantaneously when the trigger is released, enhancing user safety during operation.

Furthermore, the Craftsman 137.21236 is compatible with a range of blades, allowing users to swap out blades according to the specific needs of their projects. Whether it's a fine-tooth blade for intricate cuts or a carbide-tipped blade for heavy-duty work, the compatibility adds another layer of versatility.

In summary, the Craftsman 137.21236 is a feature-rich and technologically advanced tool that embodies reliability and precision.
