WARNING: TO AVOID ELECTRICAL HAZARDS,
FIRE HAZARDS, OR DAMAGE TO THE TOOL, USE
PROPER
CIRCUIT PROTECTION. YOUR SAW IS
WIRED AT THE FACTORY FOR 120V OPERATION.
CONNECT TO A120V, 15-AMP, BRANCH CIRCUIT
AND USE A 15-AMP FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER.
TO AVOID SHOCK OR FIRE, IF POWER CORD IS
WORN
OR CUT, OR DAMAGED IN ANY WAY,
HAVE IT REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.
IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED THIS POWER
TOOL CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK —
PARTICULARLY WHEN USED IN DAMP LOCA­
TIONS CLOSE TO PLUMBING. IF AN ELECTRICAL
SHOCK OCCURS THERE IS ALSO THE POTEN­
TIAL OF A SECONDARY HAZARD SUCH AS YOUR
HANDS CONTACTING THE SAWBLADE. NOT ALL
OUTLETS
ARE PROPERLY GROUNDED. IF YOU
ARE NOT SURE THAT YOUR OUTLET IS PRO­
PERLY
GROUNDED, HAVE IT CHECKED BY A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
Your unit has a plug that looks like the one shown
below.
This power tool is equipped with a 3-conductor cord
and ground type plug listed by Underwriters’ Labora­
tories. The ground conductor has a green jacket and
is attached to the tool housing at one end and to the
ground prong in the attachment plug at the other
end.
This plug requires a mating 3-conductor grounded
type outlet as shown above.
WARNING: TO MAINTAIN PROPER TOOL GROUND­
ING WHENEVER THE OUTLET YOU ARE PLAN­
NING TO USE FOR THIS POWER TOOL IS OF THE
TWO PRONG TYPE, DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER
THE GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MANNER. USE
AN
ADAPTER AS SHOWN AND ALWAYS CON­
NECT THE GROUNDING PRONG TO KNOWN
GROUND.
It is recommended that you have a qualified electri­
cian replace the two prong outlet with a properly
grounded three prong outlet.
An adapter as shown is available for connecting the
plug to 2-prong receptacles. The green grounding
lead extending from the adapter must be connected
to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box.
GROUNDING LUG
WARNING: THE ADAPTER ILLUSTRATED IS FOR
USE ONLY IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A PROPERLY
GROUNDED 2-PRONG RECEPTACLE.
MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION
CAUTION: To avoid motor damage this motor should
be
blown out or vacuumed frequently to keep
sawdust from interfering with normai motor ventila­
tion.
1. This tool should be connected to a 120V, 15 amp
branch circuit with a 15 amp fuse or circuit
breaker. Failure to use the proper size fuse can
result in damage to the motor.
2. If the motor fai Is to start, turn the power switch to
the “OFF” position immediately. UNPLUG THE
TOOL. Check the saw blade to make sure it turns
freely. If the blade is free, try to start the motor
again. If the motor still does not start, refer to the
"Motor Trouble-Shooting Chart.”
3. If the motor suddenly stalls while cutting wood,
turn the power switch off, unplug the tool, and
free the blade from the wood. The motor may
now be restarted and the cut finished.
4. Frequent "blowing’’offusesortripping or circuit
breakers may result if;
a. MOTOR IS OVERLOADED - Overloading can
occur if you feed too rapidly.
