•
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Don't carry
plugged-in tools 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 25 feet or
less in length. A cord exceeding 25 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.
•
KEEP CUTTERS CLEAN AND SHARP. Sharp
cutters minimize stalling and kickback.
•
KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTFING AREA.
Keep hands away from cutters. Do not reach
underneath work while cutter is rotating. Do not
attempt to remove material while cutter is
rotating.
•
NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE
ATMOSPHERE.
Normal sparking of the motor
could ignite fumes.
•
INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY and
if damaged, have repaired at your nearest
Sears Repair Center. Stay constantly aware of
cord location.
•
INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS PERIODI-
CALLY and replace if damaged.
•
KEEP HANDLES DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE

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 dam-
aged 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, break-
age of parts, mounting, and any other condi-
tions that may affect its operation. A guard or
other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center unless indicated elsewhere in this
instruction manual.
•
DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT
TURN IT ON AND OFF. Have defective
switches replaced by an authorized service
center.

operate tool while under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or any medication.
•
WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL
CRAFTSMAN REPLACEMENT
PARTS.
•
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 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
electdcian to install the proper outlet. Do not
change the plug in any way.
•
DO NOT USE TOOL UNDER "BROWN-OUT"
OR OTHER LOW VOLTAGE CONDITIONS.
Also, do not use with any device that could
cause the power supply voltage to change.
•
WHEN USING THIS ROUTER WITH A
ROUTER TABLE, HELP PREVENT POS-
SIBLE 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.

WARNING:
Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline
silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium
from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures
varies, depending
on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment,
such
as those dust masks that are specially designed
to
filter out microscopic
particles.
