RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)

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 16 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
suitable for use outdoors. Outdoor approved cords
are marked with the suffix W-A, for example -
SJTW-A or SJOW-A.

23.

NEVER USE THIS OR ANY POWER SANDER
FOR WET SANDING. 

Failure to comply can result

in electrical shock causing serious injury or worse.

24.

KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM SANDING AREA.

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
location.

27.

INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS PERIODICALLY

and replace if damaged.

28.

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.

29.

STAY ALERT. 

Watch what you are doing and

use common sense. Do not operate tool when
you are tired. Do not rush.

30.

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 parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may affect
its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced by an
authorized service center unless indicated
elsewhere in this instruction manual.

31.

DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT
TURN IT ON AND OFF.

 Have defective switches

replaced by an authorized service center.

32.

INSPECT FOR

 and remove all nails from lumber

before sanding.

33.

DRUGS, ALCOHOL, MEDICATION. 

Do not

operate tool while under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or any medication.

34.

WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL
CRAFTSMAN REPLACEMENT PARTS.

35.

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 it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician to install the proper
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

36.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. 

Review them

frequently and use them to instruct others who
may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool,
loan them these instructions also.

The operation of any sander can result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes,
which can result in severe eye damage. Before beginning power tool operation, always
wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full face shield when
needed. We recommend Wide Vision Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard
safety glasses with side shields, available at Sears Retail Stores.
