ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING: Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of plug when
installing or removing the plug from the outlet.
® 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,
® 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 router motor is double insulated.
A WARNING: Double insulation DOES NOT take the place of normal safety
precautions when operating this tool.
» 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.
» 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.
0 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.
• INSPECT tool cords for damage. Have damaged too! cords repaired at a
Sear Service Center. BE SURE to stay constantly aware of the cord location
and keep it well away from the moving router.
o DO NOT abuse the cord. NEVER use the cord to carry the tool by or to
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.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use a proper extension cord. ONLY use cords listed by Underwriters Labora
tories (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-gaugeis 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 lai^er 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.
