ELECTRICAL SAFETY cont.
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 cords repaired at a Sears Service Center. BE SURE to stay constantly aware of the cord location and keep it well away from the moving blade.
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 wire has more capacity than
!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.
!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.

SERVICE SAFETY
1.If any part of this tool 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’s 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 Service 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.
SAFETY RULES FOR HAMMER DRILLS
1.Know your Professional Hammer Drill. Read operator’s manual carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
2.BE SURE that twist drill bits, drive bits, hammer drill bits and other accessory attachments are properly and securely mounted in the chuck jaws BEFORE operating the hammer drill.
3.ALWAYS carefully inspect the material you are going to drill into. Drilling into nails, pipes and electrical wires can cause serious personal injury.
4.HOLD HAMMER DRILL by insulated gripping surfaces (handles) when performing an operation where the tool may drill into hidden wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will make the exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
5.NEVER hold the piece being drilled in your hands or across your legs. It is important to support and clamp the workpiece properly in order to minimize body exposure, bit binding, or loss of control.
