In order to prevent potential electrical shock and injury, the
following electrical safety precautions and symbols should
be followed at all times!
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Page 6
WARNING: In case of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool
is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
FIG. 1
The table below shows the correct size to use, depending
on the cord length and nameplate amperage rating. If
in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord.
Use a proper extension cord. Make sure extension cords
are in good condition. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use a cord that is heavy enough to carry the drawn
current needed by the saw. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and
overheating.
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
This tool has a precision-built electric motor. It should be
connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz. A
substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the
motor will overheat. If the tool does not operate when plugged
into an outlet, double check the power supply.
• Do not modify the plug provided – if it will not t the outlet;
have the proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.
• Improper connections of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
equipment-grounding conductor is the insulated conductor
that has an outer surface that is green, with or without
yellow stripes. If repair or replacement of the electric cord
or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding conductor to a live terminal
• Check with a qualied electrician or service personnel if
the grounding instructions are not completely understood,
or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
• Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the
tool’s plug.
• Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
WARNING: Do not permit ngers to touch the
terminal or the plug when installing or removing the plug
from an outlet.

Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on a
supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 150 Volts:
• This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet
that looks like the one shown in Sketch A of Figure 1. The
tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated
in Sketch A of Figure 1.
• A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter
illustrated in sketches B and C, may be used to connect
this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Sketch B, if
a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary
adapter should be used only until a properly grounded
outlet can be installed by a qualied electrician. The
greencolored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from
the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground
such as a properly grounded outlet box.
WARNING: Use of a temporary adapter is not
permitted in Canada.
