MAINTENANCE cont.
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety in eiectric power toois, which eiiminates the
need for the standard 3-wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are
isolated from the internal motor components with protectve insulation. Double
insulated tools do not need to be grounded.
IMPORTANT
The servicing of a tool with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge
of the system and should be performed only by a qualified service technician. For
service, we recommend that you return the tool to your nearest Sears Service Center
for repair. ALWAYS use original factory replacement parts when servicing.
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. To keep the loss at a
minimum and to prevent overheating, use an extension cord that is heavy enough to
carry the current that the tool will draw.
A wire gauge (AWG) of at least 16 is recommended for an extension cord 100 feet or
I ges
in length. When working outdoors ALWAYS use an extension cord that is
suitable for outdoor use. The cord's jacket will be marked WA.
A
CAUTION:
Keep extension cords away from the cutting area, and position
ihe cord so It will not get caught on lumber, tools, etc. during the cutting operation
A
DANGER;
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged, replace
it immediately. NEVER use a tool with a damaged cord because touching the
damaged area could cause electrical shock, resulting in serious injury.
Extension cords that are suitable for use with your saw are available at your nearest
Sears Store.
