WARNING: To avoid electrocution: Do not let fin-
gers touch the terminals of plugs when installing
or removing the plug to or from the outlet.
WARNING: If not properly grounded, this power
tool can cause an electrical shock, particularly
when used in damp locations close to plumbing. If
an electrical shock occurs there is the potential of
a secondary hazard, such as your hands contact-
ing the sawblade.
WARNING: To avoid electrocution or fire, if power
cord is torn or cut, or damaged in any way, have it
replaced immediately.
Your unit isfor use on 120 volts,and has a plug that looks
like the one below.

9-Prong
Plug
Gr;rUnnd_ng
This power tool isequipped with a 3-conductor cord and
grounding type plug listed by Underwriters' Laboratories.
The ground conductor has a green jacket and is attached
to the motor at one end and to the ground prong in the
attachment plug at the other end. If repair or replacement
of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect
the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
This plug requires a mating 3-conductor grounding type
outlet as shown. This outlet must be installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordi-
nances.
WARNING: To avoid electrocution, if the outlet you
are planning to use for this power tool is of the two
prong type, Do Not Remove Or Alter The Ground-
ing Prong In Any Manner. Use an adapter as shown
below and always connect the grounding lug to a
known ground.
It is recommended that you have a qualified electrician
replace the Two prong outlet with a properly grounded
Three prong outlet.
Grounding Lug
Make Sure This Is
3-Prong Connected to a
Plug Known Ground
g
Receptacle
Adapter
An adapter, as illustrated, is available for connecting
plugs to 2-prong receptacles.
WARNING: The green grounding lug extending
from the adapter must be connected to a perma-
nent ground such as to a properly grounded outlet
box. Not all outlet boxes are properly grounded.
If the grounding instructions are not completely under-
stood or if you are not sure that your tool or outlet box is
properly grounded, check with a qualified electrician.
NOTE: The adapter illustrated is for use only if you
already have a properly grounded 2-prong receptacle.
Motor Safety Protection
NOTE: To avoid motor damage this motor should be
blown out or vacuumed frequently to keep sawdust from
interferingwith normal motor ventilation.
1. This tool should be connected to a 120v, 15 amp
branch circuit with a 15 amp fuse or circuit breaker.
Failure to use the proper size fuse can result in dam-
age to the motor.
2. If the motor fails to start, turn the power switch to the
"OFF" position immediately. Unplug the tool. Check the
sawblade to make sure it turns freely. If the blade is
free, try to start the motor again. If the motor still does
not start, refer to the "Motor Troubleshooting Chart".
3. If the motor suddenly stalls while cutting wood, turn the
power switch off, unplug the tool and free the blade
from the wood. The motor may now be restarted and
the cut finished.
4. Frequent "blowing" of fuses or tripping of circuit break-
ers may result if:
a. Motor is overloaded - Overloading can occur if you
feed too rapidly.
b. Low Voltage - Although the motor is designed for
operation on the voltage and frequency specified on
the motor nameplate, normal loads will be handled
safely on voltages not more than 10% above or
below the nameplate voltage. Heavy loads, however,
require voltage at motor terminals equals the volt-
age specified on nameplate.
c. Improper or dull blades are used.
