Sawblade Path
The area of the workpiece ortable topdirectly inline with
the part of the workpiece which will be, or has been, cut
by the blade.
Set
The distance that the tip ofthe sawblade tooth is bent (or
set) outward from the face of the blade.
Throw-Back
Throwing of pieces in a manner similarto a kickback.
Thru-Sawing
Any cutting operation where the blade extends com-
pletely though the thickness of the workpiece.
Trailing End
The workpiece end last cut by the blade in a ripping
operation.
Workplece
The item on which the cutting operation is being done.
The surfaces of a workpiece are commonly referred to
as faces, ends, and edges.

MOTOR SPECiFICATiONS
The motor used inthissaw is arelay start, no n-reversible
type, with the following specifications:
Voltage ............................................................... 120
Amperes ........................................................... 11.5
Hertz .................................................................... 60
Phase ................................................... Single
RPM ................................................................. 3450
Rotation (viewed from
sawblade end) ......................... Counterclockwise
CAUTION: The staring relay in this switch hous-
Ing is a gravity sensitive type. To avoid damaging
your motor, never turn power on unless the saw
is upright in sawing position,
MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION
1. Frequent opening of fuses or circuit breakers may
result if motor is overloaded, or if the motor circuit is
fusedwith a fuse other than those recommended. Do
notuse a fuse of greater capacity without consulting
the power company.
2. Although the motor is designed for operation on the
voltage and frequency specified on motor nameplate,
minimal loads will be handled safely at voltages 10%
aboveor below the nameplate voltage. Heavy loads,
however, require that voltage at motor terminals be
not less than the voltage specified on nameplate.
3- Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or incor-
rect connections, overloading, reduced input voltage
(which results when small size wires are used in the
supply circuit)orwhen the supply circuit is extremely
long. Always check connection, load and supply
circuitwhen the motor fails to perform satisfactorily.
Check wire sizes and lengths with table atend of this
section.
CONNECTING TO POWER SOURCE
OUTLET
This saw must be grounded while in use to protect the
operator from electrical shock.

Your saw iswired for 120 volts and ithas a plugthat looks
likethe one shown.
Plug power cord into a 110-120V properly grounded
type outlet protected by a 15 amp. time delay or Circuit-
Saver fuse or circuit breaker.
WARNING: Damaged power cords can cause
shock or fires, if the power cord is worn, cut, or
damaged in any way, have it replaced immedi-
ately.
WARNING: Electric shock can kill. Not all outlets
are properly grounded. If you are not sure that
your outlet is properly grounded, have it checked
by a qualified electrician.
WARNING: To avoid electrical shock, do not J
permit fingers to touch the tenninals of the plug,
I
when InstalIlng or removing the plug to or from
the outlet.
WARNING: Failure to properly ground this power
tool can cause electrocution or serious shock,
particularly when used in damp locations, or near
metal plumbing, if shocked, your reaction could
cause your hands to hit the cutting tooL
This saw is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and
groundingtype plugwhich been approved by Underwrit-
ers' Laboratories. The ground conductor has a green
jacket and is attached to the tool housing at one end and
to the ground prong in the attachment plug at the other
end.
This plug requires a mating 3-conductor grounding type
outlet as shown.
