• 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 personal injury could result . if the supplied
voltage is lower than required voltage, damage to the motor could result .
• use proper circuit protection . Connect your saw to a branch circuit that uses a 15-amp time delay
fuse or circuit breaker . using the wrong size fuse could damage the motor .
