proper accident prevention measures.

SYMBOL MEANING

A A

NOTE: Advises you of information or instructions vital to the operation or maintenance of the equipment.

DOUBLE INSULATION

Double insulation is a concept in safety, in electric power tools which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal

parts are isolated from internal metal motor components with protecting insulation. Double

insulated tools do not need to be grounded.

SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL:

Indicates danger, warning, or caution. May be used in conjunction with other symbols or picto-

graphs.

DANGER: Failure to obey a safety warning will result in serious injury to yourself or to others.

Always follow the safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury.

WARNING: Failure to obey a safety warning can result in serious injury to yourself or to others.

Always follow the safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury.

CAUTION: Failure to obey a safety warning may result in property damage or personal injury to yourself or to others. Always follow the safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock

and personal injury.

IMPORTANT

Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and

should be performed only by a qualified service technician. For service we suggest you return the tool to your nearest Sears Store or Sears Service Center for repair. Always use original factory replacement parts when servicing.

_ WARNING: Do not attempt to operate this tool

until you have read thoroughly and understand completely all instructions, safety rules, etc. contained in this manual. Failure to comply can result in accidents involving fire, electric shock, or serious personal injury. Save owner's manual and review frequently for continuing safe operation, and instructing others who may use

this tool.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

KNOWYOUR POWERTOOL. Read owner's

manual carefully. Learn its applications and

limitations as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.

GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK by preventing body contact with grounded surfaces.

For example; pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigera- tor enclosures.

• KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.

KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power tools in damp or wet locations or

expose to rain. Keep work area well lit. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All

visitors should wear safety glasses and be kept a

safe distance from work area. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord.

STORE IDLETOOLS. When not in use, tools

should be stored in a dry and high or locked-up place - out of the reach of children.

DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force small tool or attachment to do the job of a heavy duty tool.

Don't use tool for purpose not intended - for example - A circular saw should never be used

for cutting tree limbs or logs.

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)

WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose

clothing or jewelry that can get caught in tool's moving parts and cause personal injury. Rubber gloves and nonskid footwear are recommended

when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair and keep it from

being drawn into nearby air vents. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday

eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses.

PROTECTYOUR LUNGS. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty.

PROTECTYOUR HEARING. Wear hearing protection during extended periods of operation.

DON'T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

• SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It's safer than using your hand and it frees

both hands to operate tool.

• DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not use on a ladder or

unstable support. Secure tools when working at elevated positions.

MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance.

Follow instructions for lubricating and changing

accessories.

MAKE SUREYOUR 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 16 is recommended for an

extension cord 100 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 W-A, for ex-

ample - SJTW-A or SJOW-A.

KEEP BITS CLEAN AND SHARP. Sharp bits minimize stalling and kickback.

KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM DRILLING AREA.

Keep hands away from bits. Do not reach underneath work while bit is rotating. Do not attempt to remove material while bit is rotating.

NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMO-

SPHERE. Normal sparking of the motor could ignite fumes.

INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY and if damaged, have repaired by an authorized service facility. Stay constantly aware of cord

location.

DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use, before servicing, or when changing attachments,

blades, bits, cutters, etc., all tools should be disconnected from power supply.

REMOVE CHUCK KEY. Form habit of checking to see that chuck key is removed from chuck before turning tool on.

AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Don't carry plugged-in tool with finger on switch. Be sure

switch is off when plugging in.

INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS PERIODI- CALLY and replace if damaged.

KEEP HANDLES 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 strong solvents to clean your tool.

STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL.

Watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired.

Do not rush.

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)

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 should be properly repaired or re- placed by an authorized service center.

DO NOT USETOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT

TURN IT ON AND OFF. Have defective switches

replaced by an authorized service center. DRILLING INTO ELECTRICAL WIRING IN

WALLS CAN CAUSE DRILL BIT AND CHUCK TO BECOME ELECTRICALLY LIVE. Do not

touch the chuck or metal housing when drilling • into a wall; grasp only the insulated handle(s)

provided on the tool.

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 lead-based paints,

• 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.

INSPECT FOR and remove all nails from lumber before drilling.

DRUGS, ALCOHOL, MEDICATION. Do not operate this tool while under the influence of

drugs, alcohol, or any medication. POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of

electric shock, this tool has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plugwill fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does

not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still

does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to

install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
