WARNING: Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of plug when
installing or removing the plug from the outlet.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other). This plug will fit in a polarized 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 a polarized outlet. Do not change the
plug in any way.

2. Double insulation eliminates the need for the
three-wire grounded power cord and grounded
power supply system. Applicable only to Class II
(double-insulated) tools. This circular saw is
a double insulated tool.
WARNING: Double insulation DOES NOT take the place of normal safety
precautions when operating this tool.
!
3. BEFORE plugging in the tool, BE SURE that the outlet voltage supplied is within the
voltage marked on the tool's data plate. DO NOT use “AC only” rated tools with a DC
power supply.
4. AVOID body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
5. DO NOT expose power tools to rain or wet conditions or use power tools in wet or
damp locations. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
6. INSPECT tool cords for damage. Have damaged tool cords repaired at a Sears
Service Center. BE SURE to stay constantly aware of the cord location and keep it well
away from the moving blade.
7. DO NOT abuse the cord. NEVER use the cord to carry the tool by or pull the plug
from the outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.

WARNING: Check extension cords before each use. If damaged replace
immediately. Never use tool with a damaged cord since touching the damaged
area could cause electrical shock, resulting in serious injury.
!
CAUTION: Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. Position the
cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, tools or other obstructions while
you are working with a power tool.

SERVICE SAFETY
1. If any part of this saw is missing or should break, bend, or fail in any way;
or should any electrical component fail to perform properly: SHUT OFF the power
switch and remove the saw plug from the power source and have the missing, damaged
or failed parts replaced BEFORE resuming operation.
2. Tool service must be performed only at a Sears Parts and Repair Center. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
3. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in
the maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
SAFETY SYMBOLS FOR YOUR TOOL
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, resulting in a loss of power and
overheating of tool. For this tool an AWG (American Wire Gauge) size of at least 14-gauge
is recommended for an extension cord of 25-ft. or less in length. Use 12-gauge for an
extension cord of 50-ft. Extension cords 100-ft. 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 16-gauge wire; 12-gauge wire has more capacity
than 14-gauge). When in doubt use the smaller number. When operating a power tool
outdoors, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These cords are rated for
outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
