POWER SUPPLY
Motor Specifications
The A-C motor used in this saw is a capacitor-start,
non-reversible type having the following specifications:
Voltage ............................ 120
Amperes ............................ 12.5
Hertz (cycles) ............................ 60
Phase ................................ Single
RPM ................................. 3450
Rotation as viewed
from saw blade end ................. Clockwise
CAUTION: YOUR SAW IS WIRED FOR 120V
OPERATION. CONNECT TO A 120V, 15-AMP.
BRANCH CIRCUIT AND USE A 15-AMP.,
TIME-DELAY FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER.
WARNING: DO NOT PERMIT FINGERS TO 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 INCUR THE POTENTIAL
HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK,
PARTICULARLY WHEN USED IN DAMP
LOCATIONS, IN PROXIMITY TO PLUMBING, OR
OUT OF DOORS. IF AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK
OCCURS THERE IS THE POTENTIAL OF A
SECONDARY HAZARD SUCH AS YOUR HANDS
CONTACTING THE SAW BLADE.
This power tool is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and
grounding type plug which has a grounding prong, approved
by Underwriters' Laboratories and the Canadian Standards
Association. 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 grounded type
outlet as shown.
PROPERLY
OR:JUNDED TYPE

THREE-PRONG PLUG
GROUNDING PRONG
If power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way, have
it replaced immediately.
If the outlet your are planning to use for this power tool is
of the two prong type DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER
THE GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MANNER. Use an
adapter as shown and always connect the grounding lug to
known ground.
It is recommended that you have a qualified electrician
replace the TWO prong outlet with a properly grounded
THREE i)rong outlet.
An adapter as shown below is available for connecting plugs
to 2-prong receptacles. The green grounding lug extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground
such as to a properly grounded outlet box.

have a properly grounded 2-prong receptacle. Adapter is
not allowed in Canada by the Canadian Electrical Code.
MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION
NOTE: This motor should be blown out, or "vacuumed",
frequently to prevent sawdust interference with normal
motor ventilation.
Your saw motor is equipped with a manual-reset,
thermal-overload protector designed to open the power-line
circuit when the motor temperature exceeds a safe value.

If the protector opens the line and stops the saw motor,
immediately press the saw switch to the "'OFF"
position, and allow the motor to cool.
After cooling to a safe operating temperature, the
overload protector can be closed manually by pushing
in the red button on the top of the motor. If the red
button will not snap into place immediately, the motor
is still too hot and must be allowed to cool for a while
longer. (An audible click will indicate protector is
closed.)
As soon as the red button will snap into running
position, the saw may be started and operated
normally, by pulling out the saw switch to the "ON"
position.
Frequent opening of fuses or circuit breakers may result
if motor is overloaded, or if the motor circuit is fused
differently from recommendations. Overloading can
occur if you feed too rapidly or if your saw is
misaligned so that the blade heels. Donot use a fuse of
greater capacity without consulting a qualified
electrician.
Although the motor is designed for operation on the
voltage and frequency specified on motor nameplate,
normal loads will be handled safely on voltages not
more than 10% above or below the nameplate voltage.
Heavy loads, however, require that voltage at motor
terminals equals the voltage specified on nameplate.
Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or
incorrect connections, overloading, reduced input
voltage (such as small size wires in the supply circuit) or
