• Know your tool. Learn the tool's operation, applica-
tion and specific limitations.
• Handle workpiece correctly. Protect hands from
possible injury.
• Turn machine off if it jams. Abrasive wheel jams
when it digs too deeply into workpiece. (Motor force
keeps it stuck in the work.) Do not remove jammed
or cut off pieces until the saw is turned off,
unplugged and the wheel has stopped.
WARNING: The operation of any power tool can result
in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can
result in severe eye damage.
Always wear safety goggles complying with United
States ANSI Z87.1 before commencing power tool
operation. Safety goggles are available through your
Sears catalog.
Refer to Figure 1.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING: Make sure unit is offand disconnected
from power sourcewhile motoris being mounted, con-
nected, reconnectedor any time wiring isinspected.

POWER SOURCE
The motoris designed for operation on the voltage and
frequency specified.Normar loads willbe handled safe-
lyon voltages not more than 10% above or below the
specified voltage.
Runningthe unit on voltages which are notwithin the
range may cause overheating and motor burn-out.
Heavy loads require that the voltage at motorterminals
be no lessthan the voltagespecified.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Double insulatedtools are equipped with a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other.) This plug
will fitin a polarized outlet only one way.If the plug
does notfit fullyin the outlet, reversethe plug.If it
stilldoes not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install a polarized outlet.Do not change the plug in
any way.
WARNING: Do not permit fingers to touchthe termi-
nals of plugwhen installing or removing from outlet.
• Double insulationeliminates the need for the three
wire grounded power cordand grounded power sup-
ply system. Before plugging in the tool, be certain
the outlet voltage supplied is withinthe voltage
marked on the nameplate.
• Avoid body contactwith grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.There is
an increased risk of electric shock ifyourbody is
grounded. If operatingthe power toolin damp loca-
tionsis unavoidable, a Ground Fault CircuitInterrupter
must be used to supplythe power toyour tool.
Electrician'srubber gloves and footwear will
further enhance your personal safety.
• Don't expose powertoolsto rain or wet conditions.
Water enteringa power tool will increasethe risk of
electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cordto carry
the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
