EXTENSION CORDS

1.USE ONLY 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that will accept the tool's plug.

2.Use a proper extension cord. ONLY use cords listed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Other extension cords can cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of power and overheating of tool. For this tool, an AWG (American Wire Gauge) size of a least 14-gauge is recommended for an extension cord of 25- ft. or less in length. Use 12-gauge for extension cords of 50-ft. Extension cords 100=ft. or longer are not recommended. Remember, a smaller wire gauge size has greater capacity than a larger number (12-gauge wire has more capacity than 14-gauge). When in doubt use the smaller number. When

operating a power tool outdoors, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W". These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

3.AVOID the possibility of getting the plug or receptacle wet (Fig. 2.)

4.Have damaged tool cords repaired at Sears Service Center.

Indicates danger, warning caution.

 

It means attention! Your safety is involved.

Z_ 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.

ACAUTION: 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.

A WARNING: When plugging your tile saw into an electrical outlet,

i

ialways arrange a drip loop on the power cord.

1. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, place the tile saw near a wall-mounted receptacle.

. Arrange a drip loop (Fig. 2) so that part of

the cord is below the receptacle, or the connector if an extension cord is used.

Water will drip from the low point of the loop. This will prevent water from traveling along the cord to the receptacle or connector.

. If the plug or receptacle does get wet, DO NOT un-plug the cord. Disconnect the fuse

or circuit breaker that is supplying power to the tool. Then unplug and examine to see if water is present in the receptacle. Receptacle MUST be dry to use.

. If the plug or receptacle does get wet, DISCONNECT THE FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER that is supplying power to the tool BEFORE unplugging the cord.

AFTER DiSCONNECTiNG THE CIRCUIT BREAKER, you can then unplug the cord.

SERVICE SAFETY

1.If any part of this saw is missing or should break, bend, or fail in any way; or should any electrical component fail to perform properly: SHUT OFF the power switch and remove the saw plug from the power source and have the missing, damaged or failed parts replaced BEFORE resuming operation.

2.Tool service must be performed only at a Sears Parts and Repair Center. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

3.When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized

parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
