RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)
18. DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use, before
servicing, or when changing attachments, blades,
bits, cutters, etc., all tools should be disconnected
from power supply.
19. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.
Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjust­
ing wrenches are removed from tool before turning
it on.
20. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Don’t carry
plugged-in tools with finger on switch. Be sure
switch is off when plugging in.
21. 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 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 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.
22. OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When tool
is used outdoors, use only extension cords suit­
able for use outdoors. Outdoor approved cords are
marked with the suffix W-A, for example - SJTW-A
or SJOW-A.
23. KEEP CUTTERS CLEAN AND SHARP. Sharp
cutters minimize stalling and kickback.
24. KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA.
Keep hands away from cutters. Do not reach un­
derneath work while cutter is rotating; Do not at­
tempt to remove material while cutter is rotating.
25. NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE.
Normal sparking of the motor could ignite fumes.
26. INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY and if
damaged, have repaired at your nearest Sears
Repair Center. Stay constantly aware of cord loca­
tion.
