GENERAL SAFETY RULES FOR POWER TOOLS
1. KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL
For your own safety, read the owner's manual carefully.
Learn its application and limitations as well as the specific
hazards peculiar to this tool.
2. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
A. All grounded, cord-connected tools:
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding pro-
vides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an
electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and
a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with
insulation having an outer surface that is green with or with-
out yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If
repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary,
do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live
terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if
in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
The use of any Extension Cord will cause some loss of power.
To keep this to a minimum and to prevent overheating and
motor burn-out, use the table below to determine the MINI-
MUM wire size (A.W.G.) Extension Cord.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding
plugs, and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
Extension Cord Length Wire Size, A.W.G.
25 Feet 16
50 Feet 16
100 Feet 14
Extension Cords suitable for use with your Jointer-Planer are
available at your nearest Sears Catalog Order or Retail Store.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
B. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on a
supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 150 volts:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet
that looks like the one illustrated in Sketch A in Figure 1. The
tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated
in Sketch A in Figure 1. A temporary adapter, which looks like
the adapter illustrated in Sketches B and C, may be used to
connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Sketch
B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary
adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet
can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored
rigid ear, lug, etc. extendirig from the adapter must be con-
nected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box.
