Eaton Corporation is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A to its Annual
Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
February 28, 2007 (the "Original Report"), solely for the purpose of adding the
conformed signatures of its directors to Exhibit 24, the Power of Attorney. Due
to oversight, the signatures of the directors were not transposed from the
originally executed Power of Attorney to the copy actually filed with the EDGAR
version of the Original Report. Accordingly, a corrected Exhibit 24 is filed
herewith. Except as specifically indicated herein, no other information included
in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 is
amended by this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A.
