RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)
• DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
• SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold
work when practical. It's safer than using your
hand and frees both hands to operate tool.
• USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make
sure your extension cord is in good condition.
Use only a cord 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 14 is recommended for an
extension cord 25 feet or less in length. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller
the gage number, the heavier the cord.
• AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Be sure
switch is off when plugging in.
• REMOVE WRENCHES AND ADJUSTING
KEYS. Get in the habit of checking - before
turning on tool - that hex keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from tool.
• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before using the
tool again, check any damaged parts, including
guards, for proper operation and performance.
Check alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, saw stability,
mounting and any other conditions that may
affect its operation. A damaged part must be
properly repaired or replaced by a qualified
service technician at a Sears store or repair
center to avoid risk of personal injury.
• USE ONLY CORRECT BLADES. Use the right
blade size, style and cutting speed for the
material and the type of cut. Blade teeth should
point down toward the front of the table.
• USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Using
improper accessories may risk injury.
• USE ONLY SEARS REPLACEMENT PARTS.
All repairs, whether electrical or mechanical,
should be made by a qualified service technician
at a Sears store or repair center.
• KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in good working
order. This includes the blade guard, riving
knife, and anti-kickback pawls.
• CHECK DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into
a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation
of the blade or cutter only.
• DISCONNECT ALL TOOLS. When not in use,
before servicing, or when changing attachments,
blades, bits, cutters, etc., all tools should be
disconnected from power supply.
• DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job
better and more safely at the rate for which it
was designed.
• NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT-
TENDED. TURN THE POWER OFF. Do not
leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
• BEFORE MOUNTING, DISCONNECTING OR
REMOUNTING THE MOTOR; unplug the saw
and remove the switch key.
,&
WARNING: When servicing, use only identical
Craftsman replacement parts. Use of any other
parts may create a hazard or cause product
damage.
• NEVER USE THIS TOOL IN AN EXPLOSIVE
ATMOSPHERE. Normal sparking of the motor
could ignite fumes.
• MAKE SURE THE WORK AREA HAS AMPLE
LIGHTING to see the work and that no obstruc-
tions will interfere with safe operation BEFORE
performing any work using this tool.
• DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT
TURN IT ON AND OFF. Have defective
switches replaced by a qualified service techni-
cian at a Sears store or repair center.
• GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK by
preventing body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator
enclosures.
• GROUND ALL TOOLS. See Electrical page.
• WEAR A DUST MASK to keep from inhaling
fine particles.
• PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear hearing
protection during extended periods of operation.
• DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL WHILE UN-
DER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL,
OR ANY MEDICATION.
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.
• AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND
POSITIONS where a sudden slip could cause
your hand to move into the blade. ALWAYS
make sure you have good balance.
• ALWAYS SUPPORT LARGE WORK PIECES
while cutting to minimize risk of blade pinching
and kickback. Saw may slip, walk or slide while
cutting large or heavy boards.
• GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK. Kickback can
occur when the blade stalls, driving the work
piece back toward the operator, tt can pull your
hand into the blade, resulting in serious personal
injury. Stay out of the blade path and turn switch
off immediately if blade binds or stalls.
