7

WARNING: 

Check extension cords before each use. If damaged 

 replace immediately. Never use tool with a damaged cord since touching 

 the damaged area could cause electrical shock, resulting in serious injury.

!

4. 

AVOID body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges 

    and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is 
    grounded.

5. 

DO NOT expose power tools to rain or wet conditions or use power tools in 

    wet or damp locations. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of 
    electric shock.

6.

 INSPECT tool cords for damage. Have damaged tool cords repaired at a Sears 

    Service Center. BE SURE to stay constantly aware of the cord location and keep 
    it well away from the moving blade.

7. 

DO NOT abuse the cord. NEVER use the cord to carry the tool by or to pull 

    the plug from the outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving 
    parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of 
    electric shock.

  ELECTRICAL SAFETY cont. 

EXTENSION CORDS

Use a proper extension cord. ONLY use cords listed by Underwriters Laboratories
(UL). Other extension cords can cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of 
power and overheating of tool. For this tool an AWG (American Wire Gauge) size of a 
least 14-gauge is recommended for an extension cord of 25 - ft. or less in length. Use 
12 -gauge for an extension cord of 50 -ft. 

Extension cords 100-ft. or longer are not 

recommended. Remember, a smaller wire gauge size has greater capacity than 
a larger number (14 - gauge wire has more capacity than 16-gauge wire; 12-gauge 
wire has more capacity than 14 - gauge). When in doubt use the smaller number. 
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an outdoor extension cord marked 
“W-A” or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric 
shock.

!

CAUTION: 

Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. 

 Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, tools, parts of the

 vehicle or other obstructions while you are working with a power tool.
