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

NOTE:_
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.

result in accidents involving fire, electric shock,
or serious personal injury. Save owner's manual

IMPORTANT

technician. For service we suggest you retum the tool
to your nearest Sears Store for repair. Always use
original factory replacement parts when servicing.
• 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 IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools
should be stored in a dry and high or locked-up
place - out of the reach of children. .'
• DO NOT 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 -- don_tuse a circular saw for cutting
tree limbs or logs.
• 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.

eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses;
they are not safety glasses.
• PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a face or dust
mask ifthe operation is dusty.

• . PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear hearing
protection during extended periods of operation.
• DO NOT 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 is safer than using your hand and itfrees
both hands to operate tool.
• DO NOT 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 instructionsfor lubricating and changing

• DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use, before
servicing, or when changing attachments, tools
should be disconnected from power supply.

WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that
keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from

• AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Do not carry
plugged-in tool with finger on switch. Be sure
switch is off when plugging in.
• MAKE SURE YOUR EXTENSION CORD IS IN
GOOD CONDITION. When usingan 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
example - 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 under-
neath work while bit isrotating. Do notattempt to
remove material while bit isrotating.

ATMOSPHERE. Normal sparking of the motor
could ignite fumes.

damaged, have repaired at your nearest Sears
Repair Center. Stay constantly aware of cord
location.

sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired.
Do not rush.

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 USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT
TURN IT ON AND OFF. Have defective switches
replaced by an authorized service center.
