2.Double insulation [] eliminates the need for the three-wire grounded power cord and

grounded power supply system. Applicable only to Class II (double-insulated) tools.

This tool is a double insulated tool.

3.BEFORE plugging in the tool, BE SURE that the outlet voltage supplied is within the

voltage marked on the tool'sdata plate. DO NOT use "AC only" rated tools with a DC power supply.

4.AVOID body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

5.DO NOT expose power tools to rain or wet conditions or use power tools in wet or damp locations. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

6.INSPECT tool cords for damage. Have damaged tool c,ords repaired at a Sears

Service Center. BE SURE to stay constantly aware of the cord location and keep it well away from moving parts.

7.DO NOT abuse the cord. NEVER use the cord to carry the tool by or 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.

EXTENSION CORDS

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 an extension cord 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

(14-gauge wire has more capacity than 16-gauge wire; 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 'fiN".These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

/_ CAUTION: Keep the extension cord clear of the working area.

Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, tools or other obstructions while you are working with a power tool.

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.
