Safety is a combination of common sense, 

staying alert and knowing how to use your power 

tool.

1.    

READ and become familiar with the 

entire Operator’s Manual. 

LEARN 

the tool’s application, limitations and 

possible hazards.

2. 

KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working 

order.

3. 

WRENCHES. Form the habit of checking to 

see that keys and adjusting wrenches are 

removed from the tool before turning ON.

4. 

KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas 

and benches invite accidents.

5. 

ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use power tools 

in damp locations, or expose them to rain or 

snow. Keep work area well lit.

6. 

KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors and 

bystanders should be kept a safe distance 

from work area.

7. 

MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF with 

padlocks, master switches or by removing 

starter keys.

8. 

DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job 

better and safer at the rate for which it was 

designed.

9. 

USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force the tool 

or an attachment to do a job for which it was 

not designed. 

10.

USE PROPER EXTENSION CORDS. 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 

result in a drop in line voltage and in loss of 

power which will cause the tool to overheat. 

The table on page 7 shows the correct 

size to use depending on cord length and 

nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the 

next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge 

number, the heavier the cord.

11.

WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear 

loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, 

bracelets or other jewelry which may get 

caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is 

recommended. Wear protective hair covering 

to contain long hair.

12.

ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION. Any 

power tool can throw foreign objects 

into the eyes and could cause 

permanent eye damage. 

ALWAYS 

wear Safety Goggles (not glasses) 

that comply with ANSI Safety standard Z87.1. 

Everyday eyeglasses have only impact–

resistant lenses. They 

ARE NOT safety 

glasses. Safety Goggles are available at 

Sears. 

NOTE: Glasses or goggles not in 

compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could seriously 

injure you when they break.

13.

WEAR A FACE MASK OR DUST MASK. 

Sawing operation produces dust.

14.

SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to 

hold work when practical. It is safer 

than using your hand and it frees 

both hands to operate the tool.

15.

SOURCE before servicing, and when 

changing accessories such as blades, bits 

and cutters.

16.

STARTING. Make sure switch is in the OFF 

position before plugging the tool in.

17.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. 

Consult this Operator’s Manual for 

recommended accessories. The use of 

improper accessories may cause risk of injury 

to yourself or others.

18.

NEVER STAND ON THE TOOL. Serious 

injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the 

cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.

19.

CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before 

further use of the tool, a guard or other part 

that is damaged should be carefully checked
