MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION
Power Cord Connection to Electrical Outlet
1. Verify the voltage supplied to the saw and the saw’s required voltage is the same. If the
supplied voltage is greater than the required voltage, serious bodily injury could result. If the
supplied voltage is lower than required voltage, damage to the motor could result.
2. Use proper circuit protection. Connect your saw to a branch circuit that uses a 20 Amp time
delay fuse or circuit breaker. Using the wrong size fuse could damage the motor.
3. Replace a worn, cut or damaged power cord.
