PROPOSITION 65 WARNING:
Dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities may contain chemicals
known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products
• Asbestos dust
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well-ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities.
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Refer to them often and use them to instruct others. • If tool is loaned to someone, also loan them these instructions.
Your machine is wired for 120 volts, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the machine to the power source, make sure the
switch is in the “OFF” position.
This tool has a precision-built electric motor. It should be connected to a POWER SUPPLY THAT IS 120 VOLTS, 60 HZ, AC ONLY
(NORMAL HOUSEHOLD CURRENT in the U.S. and Canada). DO NOT operate this tool on direct current (DC). 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.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
POWER CONNECTIONS
POWER SOURCE
This saw is equipped with a 2.5A (23-196)/5.0A (23-197)
motor for use with a 120-volt, 60-HZ alternating current. See
instructions below regarding proper connections for your saw as
wired.
For voltage, the wiring in a shop is as important as the motor’s
rating. A line intended ONLY for lights may not be able to
properly carry the current needed for a power tool motor; wire
that is heavy enough for a short distance may be too light for
a greater distance; and a line that can support one power tool
may not be able to support two or three.
A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines.
This circuit should be protected by a 15 amp circuit breaker or
15 amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord is used, use ONLY
3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding-type
plugs and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s
plug. Before connecting the machine to the power line, make
sure the switch is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the
electric current is of the same characteristics as indicated on the
machine. A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power
and overheat the motor. It may also damage the machine.
DO NOT EXPOSE THE MACHINE TO RAIN OR OPERATE THE MACHINE IN DAMP LOCATIONS.
1. All grounded, cord-connected machines:
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of
electric shock. This machine 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.
DO NOT modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an
outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. 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 qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to
whether the machine is properly grounded.
Use ONLY 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching 3-conductor receptacles that accept the
machine’s plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
In all cases, make certain that the receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a
qualified electrician check the receptacle.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This machine must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.
