EXTENSION CORDS
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the
tool's plug. When using a power tooiat aconsiderable
distance from the power source, use an extension cord
heavy enough lo carry the current that the tool will draw.
Art undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line
voltage, resulting in a loss of power and causing the
motor to overheat. Lisathe chart provided below to
determine the minimum wire size required in an extension
cord, Only round jacketed cords listed by Underwdter's
Laboratories (UL) should be used.

When working with the tool outdoors, ueean extension
cord that is designed for outside use. This is indicated by
Ihe letters "WA'ron the cord's jacket.
Before using an extensron cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation,
_, WARNING: Keep the extension cord clear of the
working area. Position the cord so that itwill not get
caught on lumber, tools or other obstructions while
you are working with a power tool. Failure le do so
can result in serious personal injury.

[JL_ WARNING: Check extension cords before each
use. g damaged replace immediately, Never use tool
with a dereaged cord since touching the damaged
area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious
injury,
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This tool is powered by a precision buitl electric motor.
It should be connected to a power supply that Is 120
volts, 60 Hz, AC only [normal household current}. Do I
not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial
voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor w!ll
overheat. ]f the saw does not operate when plugged intq
an outlet, double check the power supply.
SPEED AND WIRING
The no-load speed of this tool is approy,imateltt _,,800 rp_n.
This speed isnot constant and decreases under s load (_r
with lower voltage. For voltage, the wiring in a shop is a_
important as the motor's horsepower rating A line intend-
ed on_yfor lights cannot properly cart,/a power tool motor.
Wire that is heavy enough for a short distance will be toq
light for a greater distance. A line that can support one |
power tool may not be able to supped two or three tool.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Inthe event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provldes a path of leasl resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool isequipped Wilh
an electdc cord having an equipment-grounding conduc- I
tcr and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into _a
matching outlet that is properly instarledand grounded in/
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do net modify the plug provided. {fit will not fit the outlet I
have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding con-
duotor can result in a risk of electric shock. The ¢onduclctr
with insulation having an outer surface that is green wil,h
or without yellow stripes isthe equipment-grounding con_
ducton Ifrepair or replacement of the etecfric cord or plu_
is necessary, do not connect the equipment grounding "
conductor to a live terminal. I
Check with a qualilied electrician or service personnel if i
the grounding instructions are not completely understood,
or it in doubt a_ to whether the tool is plo[_edy grounded.[
