RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)
• USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make
sure your extension cord is in good condition.
Use only a cord 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 25 feet or less in length. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller
the gage number, the heavier the cord.
• INSPECT TOOL CORDS AND EXTENSION
CORDS PERIODICALLY and, if damaged, have
repaired by a qualified service technician at a
Sears store or repair center. Stay constantly
aware of cord location and keep Jtwell away
from the moving blade.

gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other
jewelry that can get caught and draw you into
movmg parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended.
