• Most motor troubles may be traced
to loose or incorrect connections,
overload, low voltage or inadequate
power supply wiring. Always check the
connections, the load and supply circuit
if the motor doesn’t run well. Check
minimum gauge for the length of cord
you are using on the chart below.
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
Use a proper extension cord. Make sure
your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting
in loss of power and overheating. The
table below shows the correct size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord.
Be sure your extension cord is
properly wired and in good condition.
Always replace a damaged extension cord
or have it repaired by a qualied person
before using it. Protect your extension
cords from sharp objects, excessive heat
and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for
your tools. This circuit must not be less
than a #18 wire with a 9 A time lag fuse.
NOTE: When using an extension cord on
a circuit with a #18 wire, the extension
cord must not exceed 25 feet in length.
Before connecting the tool to the power
line, make sure the switch is in the OFF
position and the electric current is rated
the same as the current stamped on the
motor nameplate, running at a lower
voltage will damage the motor.

In all cases make certain
the receptacle in question is properly
grounded. If you are not sure, have
a certied electrician check the
receptacle.
GLOSSARY OF TERMS
AMPERAGE (AMPS) – A measure of
the ow of electric current. Higher ratings
generally means the tool is suited for
heavier use.
ARBOR LOCK – Allows the user to keep
the blade from rotating while tightening
or loosening the arbor bolt during blade
replacement or removal.
BASE – Supports the table, holds
accessories and allows for workbench or
leg set mounting.
BEVEL LOCK HANDLE – Locks the miter
saw at a desired bevel angle.
BEVEL SCALE – To measure the bevel
angle of the saw blade 0° to 45° left.
CARBIDE TIPPED – Extremely hard steel
pieces with sharp cutting edges fastened
to cutting tools such as saw blades.
COVER PLATE SCREW – Loosen this
screw and rotate the plate for access to
the blade arbor bolt.
DOUBLE-INSULATED – A form of
electrical protection featuring two
separate insulation systems to help
protect against electrical shock.
EXTENSION CORD – An electric cord
used between power tools and outlets to
extend the range of the tools. The more
amerage your tool uses, the longer the
distance, the larger the size of the wire
needed in your extension cord.
EYE PROTECTION – Googles or
spectacles intended to protect your
eyes. Eye protection should meet the
requirements of ANSI Z.87.1 (USA) or
CSA Z94.3-M88 (Canada).
FACE SHIELD – An impact resistant
shield that helps to protect your face from
chips, sparks, small debris. Should only
be used in conjunction with additional eye
protection.
