RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)
• • SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold
work. It is safer than using your hand and it frees
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 instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
• DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use, before
servicing, or when changing attachments, tools
should be disconnected from power supply.
• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.
Form habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before
turning it on.
• 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 using an extension
cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry
the current y_'ur 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 50 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 CUTTERS CLEAN AND SHARP. Sharp
cutters minimize stalling and kickback.
• KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM ROUTING AREA.
Keep hands away from cutters. Do not reach
underneath work while cutter isrotating. Do not
attempt to remove material while cutter is rotating.
• NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE
ATMOSPHERE. Normal sparking of the motor
could ignite fumes.
• INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY and if
damaged, have repaired at your nearest Sears
Repair Center. Stay constantly aware of cord
location.
• INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS
PERIODICALLY 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.
• 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 pads,
binding of moving pads, breakage of parts,
mounting and any other conditions that may affect
its operation. A guard or other part that is dam-
aged should be properly repaired or replaced 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.
• INSPECT FOR and remove all nails from lumber
before routing.
• DO NOT operate this tool while under the influ-
ence 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 plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not
fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If itstill does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the
proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
• WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL
CRAFTSMAN REPLACEMENT PARTS.
• WHEN USING THIS ROUTER WITH A ROUTER
TABLE, HELP PREVENT POSSIBLE SERIOUS
INJURY BY KEEPING THE CUTTER GUARDED
AT ALL TIMES. Use only router tables, with
guards, that have been designed for use on
reuters that are of this type, size, and weight.
• DO NOT USE TOOL UNDER "BROWNOUT" OR
OTHER LOW VOLTAGE CONDITIONS. Also, do
not use with any device that could cause the
power supply voltage to change.
• SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them
frequently and use them to instruct others who
may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool,
loan them these instructions also.
A
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.
