motor specifications and eiectrical
requirements
This machine is designed to use, and is equipped with,
a 1725 RPM motor. It is wired for operation on 120 volts,
60 Hz., alternating current. (TOOL MUST NOT BE CON­
VERTED TO OPERATE ON 230 VOLT).
For replacement motor refer to parts list in this
manual.
CONNECTING TO POWER SUPPLY OUTLET
This machine must be grounded while in use to
protect the operator from electric shock.
Plug power cord into a 120V properly grounded type
outlet protected by a 15-amp. fuse or circuit breaker.
If you are not sure that your outlet is properly
grounded, have it checked by a qualified electri­
cian.
WARNING: DO NOT PERMIT FINGERS TO
TOUCH THE TERMINALS OF PLUGS WHEN
INSTALLING OR REMOVING THE PLUG TO OR
FROM THE OUTLET.
WARNING: IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED
THIS POWER TOOL CAN CAUSE AN ELECTRI­
CAL SHOCK PARTICULARLY WHEN USED IN
DAMP LOCATIONS CLOSE TO PLUMBING. IF
AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK OCCURS THERE IS
THE POTENTIAL OF A SECONDARY HAZARD
SUCH AS YOUR HANDS CONTACTING THE
SAW BLADE.
If power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any
way, have it repiaced immediately.
Your unit is for use on 120 volts, and has a plug that
looks like below.
This power tool is equipped with a 3-conductor
cord and grounding type plug which has a
grounding
prong, approved by Underwriters’
Laboratories and the Canadian Standards Associ­
ation. 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 ground­
ed type outlet as shown.
If the outlet you are planning 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
below and always connect the grounding lug to a
known ground.
It is recommended that you have a qualified elec­
trician replace the TWO prong outlet with a pro­
perly grounded THREE prong outlet.
GROUNDING LUG
An adapter as illustrated is available for connect­
ing plugs to 2-prong receptacles. The green
grounding lug extending from the adapter must
be connected to a permanent ground such as to
a properly grounded outlet box.
NOTE: The adapter illustrated is for use only if
you already have a properly grounded 2-prong
receptacle. Adapter is not allowed in Canada by
the Canadian Electrical Code.
The use of any extension cord will cause some
loss of power. To keep this to a minimum and to
prevent overheating and motor burn-out, use the
table below to determine the minimum wire size
(A.W.G.) extension cord.
Use only 3 wire extension cords which have 3-
prong grounding type plugs and 3-prong recep­
tacles which accept the tools plug.
