RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)

USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will 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.

INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS PERIODI-

CALLY and replace if damaged.

DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry. They can get caught and draw you into moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonslip foot- wear are recommended when working outdoors. Also wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses.

PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a face or dust mask if the cutting operation is dusty.

PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear hearing protection during extended periods of operation.

SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It'ssafer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.

DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer perfor- mance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

DISCONNECT ALL TOOLS. When not in use, before servicing, or when changing attachments, blades, bits, cutters, etc., all tools should be disconnected.

AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Be sure switch is off when plugging in.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury.

NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the blade is unin- tentionally contacted.

CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended

function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged must be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified service technician at a Sears store to avoid risk of personal injury.

NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT- TENDED. TURN THE POWER OFF. Do not leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

FIRMLY CLAMP OR BOLT your miter saw to a workbench or table at approximately hip height.

USE ONLY CORRECT BLADES. Do not use blades with incorrect size holes. Never use blade washers or blade bolts that are defective or incorrect. The maximum blade capacity of your saw is 12 in.

KEEP BLADES CLEAN, SHARP AND WITH SUFFICIENT SET. Sharp blades minimize

stalling and kickback.

DO NOT REMOVE THE SAW'S BLADE GUARDS. Never operate the saw with any guard or cover removed. Make sure all guards are operating properly before each use.

KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA. Keep hands away from blades. Do not reach underneath work or around or under the blade while blade is rotating. Do not attempt to remove cut material when blade is moving.

WARNING: Blade coasts after turn off.

DO NOT ABUSE CORD. Never yank cord to disconnect it from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY and if damaged, have repaired by a qualified service technician at a Sears store. Stay constantly aware of cord location and keep it well away from the rotating blade.

USE OUTDOOR EXTENSION CORDS. When tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords with approved ground connection that are intended for use outdoors and so marked.

DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT TURN IT ON AND OFF. Have defective switches replaced by a qualified service technician at a Sears store.

KEEP TOOL DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE FROM OIL AND GREASE. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any solvents to clean tool.
