EXTENSION CORDS
Use only3-wire extensioncordsthat have 3-prong
groundingplugsand 3-pole receptaclesthat accept
thetool's plug.When usinga powertool at a consid-
erable distancefromthe powersource, use an
extensioncord heavyenoughto carrythe current that
thetool willdraw.An undersizedextensioncordwill
cause a drop in linevoltage, resultingin a loss of
powerand causingthe motorto overheat. Use the
chart providedbelowto determinethe minimumwire
size requiredin an extensioncord. Only roundjack-
eted cordslistedby Underwriter'sLaboratories(UL)
shouldbe used.
Length of Extension Cord Wire Size (A.W.G.)
Up to 25 feet 14
26-100 feet 12
When workingwith thetool outdoors,use an exten-
sioncordthat isdesignedfor outsideuse. This is
indicatedbythe lettersWA on the cord's jacket.
Beforeusing an extensioncord, inspectitfor looseor
exposedwires and cut or worninsulation.
_k CAUTION: Keep the cord away from the cutting
area and positionthe cordsothat it willnot be
caughton lumber,tools,or otherobjectsdudng
cuttingoperations.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
YourSears CraftsmanTable Saw ispowered bya
precisionbuiltelectricmotor. Itshouldbe connected
to a power supply that Is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only
(normal household current). Do not operate thistool
ondirectcurrent (DC). A substantialvoltagedrop will
causea lossofpower and the motorwilloverheat. If
the saw does not operatewhen plugged intoan
outlet,doublecheckthe power supply.
SPEED AND WIRING
The no-loadspeed of yourtable saw isapproximately
3,600 rpm.This speed isnot constantand decreases
undera load or with lowervoltage. Forvoltage, the
wiringin a shopis as importantas the motor'shorse-
powerrating.A lineintendedonlyfor lightscannot
properlycarry a powertoolmotor. Wire that isheavy
enoughfor a shortdistancewillbe too lightfor a
greaterdistance. A linethatcan supportone power
tool may not be able to supporttwo or three tools.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event ofa malfunctionor breakdown, grounding
providesa path ofleast resistancefor electriccurrent
to reducethe riskofelectricshock.Thistool is
equippedwith anelectriccordhaving an equipment-
groundingconductorand a groundingplug.The plug
mustbe pluggedintoa matchingoutletthat ispropedy
installedand groundedin accordancewith all local
codes and ordinances.
Do not modifythe plug provided.Ifitwillnot fit the
outlet,have the properoutletinstalledbya qualified
electrician.Improperconnectionofthe equipment-
groundingconductorcan resultin a riskof electric
shook.The conductorwith insulationhaving an outer
surfacethat isgreen withor withoutyellowstripesis
the equipment-groundingconductor. If repairor
replacementofthe electdc cordor plug isnecessary,
do not connect the equipment-groundingconductorto
a liveterminal.
Check witha qualifiedelectricianor service personnel
ifthe groundinginstructionsare notcompletely
understood,or if indoubt as to whetherthetoolis
properlygrounded.
Repair or replacea damaged or worncordimmedi-
ately.
This toolis intendedfor use on a circuitthathas an
