DO NOT expose power tools to rain or wet conditions or use power tools In wet or damp locations. Water entering a power tool wit]increase the risk of electric shock, 6 INSPECT tool cords for damage. Have damaged tool cords repaired at a Sears Service Cen!er. BE SURE to stay constantly aware of the cord ioca_ion and keep it wel! away tram the moving blade 7 DO NOT abuse the cord. NEVER use the cord to carry the idol by or pull the plug lmm the ouUeL Keep cord away from heal, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of e_ectric shock. EXTENSION CORDS Use a proper extension cord. ONLY use cords listed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Other extension cords can cause a drop in line voltage, resu][ing in a loss of power and overheating of IDoL For this 1ool an AWG (American Wire Gauge) size of a! teas! 14-gauge is recommended for an exlensfon cord of 25°ft or Jess in length. Use 12-gauge for an extension cord el 5g-it, Extension cords 100-I1. or longer are not recommended° Remember, a smaller wire gauge size has greater capacity than a larger number (14-gauge wire has more capacity than f6-gauge wire; 12-gauge wire has mare capacity than 14-gauge) When in doubt use Ihe smalter number, When operating a power Iool outdoors, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W". These cords are rated for ouldoar use and reduce the risk of electric shock CAUTION: Keep the extension cord clear of the working area, Position the / cord so thai It wlll not gel caught on lumber, tools or other obstructions while you] are working with e power tool.
