_1 WARNING: Read and follow all instructions.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result inelectric shock, fire and/or serious per-

sonal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area

• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Clut-
tered benches and dark areas invite accidents.

Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools

may create sparks which may ignite the dust or

fumes.

• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away

while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

• Double insulated tools are equipped with a

polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will 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 a
polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any
way. Double insulation [] eliminates the need for •

the three-wire grounded power cord and grounded

power supply system.

• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces,

such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigera- •
tors. There is an increased risk of electric shock if

your body is grounded.

• Don't expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase •

the risk of electric shock.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to

carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet.

Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or
moving pads. Replace damaged cords immedi-

ately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric

shock.

When operating a power tool outside, use an
outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W".

These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce
the risk of electric shock.

Personal Safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use

common sense when operating a power tool.

Do not use tool while tired or under the influ-

ence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A mo-

ment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,

clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.

• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off

before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger
on the switch or plugging in tools that have the
switch on, invites accidents.

Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before

turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left

attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Proper footing and balance

enables better control of the tool in unexpected

situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protec-

tion. Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat,

or hearing protection must be used for appropriate

conditions.

Tool Use and Care

• Use clamps or another practical way to secure

and support the workpiece to a stable platform.

Holding the work by hand or against your body is
unstable and may lead to loss of control.

• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your

application. The correct tool will do the job better

and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or
off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the

switch is dangerous and must be repaired,

• Disconnect the plug from power source before

making any adjustments, changing accesso-
ries, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety

measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.

• Store idle tools out of the reach of children and

other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.

• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools

sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with

sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.

Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other condi-

tion that may affect the tool's operation. If
damaged, have the tool serviced before using.

Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
tools.

Use only accessories that are recommended
by the manufacturer for your model. Accesso-

ries that may be suitable for one tool, may become
hazardous when used on another tool.

Service

• Tool service must be performed only by quali-
fied repair personnel. Service or maintenance

performed by unqualified personnel could result in
a risk of injury.

• 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.

Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may con-

tact hidden wiring or its cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and

shock the operator.
Additional Rules For Safe Operation

Know your power tool. 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.

Always wear safety glasses. Everyday eye-
glasses have only impact-resistant lenses;
they are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule

will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

• Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if
the operation is dusty. Following this rule will

reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection

during extended periods of operation. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal

injury.

Inspect tool cords periodically and, if dam-
aged, have repaired at your nearest Factory

Service Center or other Authorized Service
Organization. Constantly stay aware of cord

location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of

electric shock or fire.

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. 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.

An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber
before drilling. Following this rule will reduce the

risk of serious personal injury.

Drugs, alcohol, medication. Do not operate tool
while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
any medication. Following this rule will reduce the

risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal
injury.

Save these instructions. Refer to them #e-

quently and use them to instruct others who
may use this tool. If you loan someone this

tool, loan them these instructions also.

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 in-
tended function. Check for alignment of mov-

ing 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

replaced by an authorized service center.

Following this rule will reduce the risk of shock,

fire, or serious injury.

Do not abuse cord. Never carry the tool by the

cord or yank it to disconnect it from the recep-

tacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, and sharp

edges. Following this rule will reduce the risk of

electric shock or fire.

_LWARNING: Some dust created by power

sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known

to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproduc-
tive 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.

_k, WARNING:

The operation of any drill can result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes, which

can result in severe eye damage. Before beginning power tool operation, always wear
safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full face shield when needed. We
recommend Wide Vision Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses

with side shields, available at Sears Retail Stores.
