used to reçut small pieces.
Electrical Connection
Your Miter Saw is powered by a
Black & Decker built motor. Be sure your
power supply agrees with the nameplate
marking. 120 Volts, 60 Hz or “AC only"
means your tool must be operated only
with alternating current and NEVER with
direct current. A voltage decrease of
more than 10% will cause loss of power
and overheating. All B&D tools are fac­
tory tested; if this tool does not operate,
check the power supply.
Double-Insulation
Your tool is double insulated to give
you added safety. This means that it is
constructed throughout wtih TWO
separate “layers” of electrical insulation
or one DOUBLE thickness of insulation
between you and the toot’s electrical
system.
Tools built with this improved insula­
tion system are not intended to be
grounded. As a result, your tool is
equipped with a two-prong plug which
permits you to use any conventional 120
volt electrical outlet without concern for
maintaining a ground connection.
NOTE: Double-Insulation does not
take the place of normal safety precau­
tions when operating this tool. The
improved insulation system is for added
protection against injury resulting from a
possible electrical insulation failure within
the tool.
CAUTION; When servicing
Double-Insulated Tools, USE ONLY
IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.
Replace or repair damaged cords.
This tool Is intended for residen­
tial use only.
Extension Cords
When using the tool at a considera­
ble distance from the power source, an
extension cord of adequate size must be
used for safety, and to prevent loss of
power and overheating. Use the table
below to determine minimum wire size
required.
Before using cords, inspect them for
loose or exposed wires and damaged
insulation. Make any needed repairs or
replacement before using your power
tool.

NOTE: The lower the wire size num­
ber. the heavier the wire, and the farther it
will carry current without a significant volt­
age drop.
Unpacking Your Saw
Inspect the contents of your saw
carton. In addition to this instruction
Manual, you should find the following:
1. One #9425 Compound Miter Saw
2. One plastic wing knob, packed inside
cardboard filler block next to blade
