the risk of electric shock or fire.
6. ALWAYS check for damaged parts. Before further use of the tool, a guard or
other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine if it will
operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that
may affect the tool's operation. A guard or other part that is damaged, should
be properly repaired or replaced at a Sears Service Center.

parts. Replace damaged cords Immediately.
Damaged cords increase the risk
of electric shock. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric .shock or fire.
8. ALWAYS make sure that your extension cord is in good condition. When
using an extension cord be sure to use one that is heavy enough to carry the
current that your tool will draw. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at feast 16 is
recommended for an extension 100 feet or less in length. Using an extension
cord that is over 100 feet in length is not recommended. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gauge. Smaller gauge wires, have greater capacity (16 gauge
wire has more capacity than 18 gauge wire). An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating.
9. DO NOT use the tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
any medication. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire or
serious personal injury.
