•AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Do not carry
•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 y_'urproduct 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 50 feet or less in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not recommended. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
•OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords suitable for use outdoors. Outdoor approved cords are marked with the suffix
•KEEP CUTTERS CLEAN AND SHARP. Sharp cutters minimize stalling and kickback.
•KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM ROUTING AREA. Keep hands away from cutters. Do not reach underneath work while cutter is rotating. Do not attempt to remove material while cutter is rotating.
•NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE. Normal sparking of the motor could ignite fumes.
•INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY and if damaged, have repaired at your nearest Sears
Repair Center. Stay constantly aware of cord location.

•WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL CRAFTSMAN REPLACEMENT PARTS.
•WHEN USING THIS ROUTER WITH A ROUTER
TABLE, HELP PREVENT POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY BY KEEPING THE CUTTER GUARDED
AT ALL TIMES. Use only router tables, with guards, that have been designed for use on reuters that are of this type, size, and weight.
•DO NOT USE TOOL UNDER "BROWNOUT" OR
OTHER LOW VOLTAGE CONDITIONS. Also, do not use with any device that could cause the power supply voltage to change.
•SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.
A WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
•lead from
•crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
•arsenic and chromium from chemically- treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
