RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)
PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear hearing
protection during extended periods of operation.
DO NOT ABUSE CORD. Never carry tooi by cord
or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord
from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold
work. It is safer than using your hand and it frees
both hands to operate tool.
DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Do not use on a ladder or
unstable support. Secure tools when working at
elevated positions.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp
and clean for best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accesso­
ries.
DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use, before
servicing, or when changing attachments, tools
should be disconnected from power supply.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.
Form habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before
turning it on.
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Do not carry
plugged-in tool with finger on switch. Be sure
switch is off when plugging in.
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.
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.
I
KEEP CUTTERS CLEAN AND SHARP. Sharp
cutters minimize stalling and kickback.
KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM ROUTING AREA.
Keep hands away from cutters. Do not reach under­
neath work while cutter is rotating. Do not attempt to
remove material w^ile cutter is rotating.
1 NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE
ATMOSPHERE. Normal sparking of the motor
could ignite fumes.
I INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY and if
damaged, have repaired at your nearest Sears
Repair Center. Stay constantly aware of cord
location.
INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS
PERIODICALLY and replace if damaged.
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.
STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL. Watch
what you are doing and use common sense. Do
not operate tool when you are tired. Do not rush.
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.
DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT
TURN IT ON AND OFF. Have defective switches
replaced by an authorized service center.
INSPECT FOR and remove all nails from lumber
before routing.
DO NOT operate this tool while under the influence
of drugs, alcohol, or any medication.
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 polar­
ized 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.
WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL
CRAFTSMAN REPLACEMENT PARTS.
WHEN USING THIS ROUTER WITH A ROUTER
TABLE, HELP PREVENT POSSIBLE SERIOUS
INJURY BY KEEPING THE CUTTER GUARDED
AT ALL TIMES. Use only router tables, with
guards, that have been designed for use on routers
that are of this type, size, and weight.
DO NOT USE TOOL UNDER "BROWNOUT" OR
OTHER LOW VOLTAGE CONDITIONS. Also, do
not use with any device that could cause the power
supply voltage to change.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them
frequently and use them to instruct others who may
use this tool. If you loan someone this tool, loan
them these instructions also.
