4. Plug the free end of the extension cord into an AC power
receptacle. Whenever possible use a GFCI receptacle
(Figure 11) to reduce the risk of electrical shock.

using the Cutting Table
„ The ruler guide has inches marked along the top to allow
convenient measurements and to promote precision cuts.
See Figure 12.
„ The table spans an area of 16" x 16" (406 x 406 mm).
With the optional side extension table equipped, the cast
aluminum cutting table spans an area of 25" x 16" (635
x 406 mm), which allows it to provide greater support
for handling larger materials.
„ Cutting table is covered by a rubber mat that provides a
firm, durable work surface.
„ A rip guide should be used with the cutting table to ensure
precision while making cuts.

danger
never grab or touch a live
power cord with wet hands, the
possibility exists of electrical shock,
electrocution, and even death!
never use a damaged or worn
extension cable when connecting
to a power source. Defective cables may cause damage
to the saw’s electric motor or electrical shock.
aLWayS use a grounded (3-wire) extension cord
and maKe CerTaIn that the motor is connected to
a properly grounded electric circuit. If possible use a
ground fault circuit interrupter to protect the operator
from possible electric shock.
