ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY
cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the equipment grounding
conductor to a live terminal.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or
service person if you do not completely
understand the grounding instructions,
or if you are not certain the tool is
properly grounded.
USE only three-wire extension cords
that have three-pronged grounding
plugs with three-pole receptacles that
accept the tool’s plug. Repair or replace
damaged or worn cords immediately.
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION
CORDS
USE THE PROPER EXTENSION
CORD. Make sure your extension cord
is in good condition. Use an extension
cord heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power, overheating
and burning out of the motor. The
table on the right shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier
the cord.
Make sure your extension cord is
properly wired and in good condition.
Always replace a damaged extension
cord or have it repaired by a qualified
technician before using it. Protect your
extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for
your tool. This circuit must not be less
than #12 wire with a 20 Amp time-lag
fuse or a #14 wire with a 15 Amp time-
lag fuse.
POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR
SPECIFICATIONS
The AC motor used in this saw is
a universal, nonreversible type.
See “MOTOR” in the “PRODUCT
SPECIFICATIONS” section on page 3.
To avoid electrical hazards, fi
re
hazards, or damage to the tool, use
proper circuit protection. Your saw
is wired at the factory for 120 V
operation. Connect to a 120 V, 15
Amp circuit and use a 15 Amp time
delay 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.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION
OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides
a path of least resistance for electric
currents and reduces the risk of electric
shock. This tool is equipped with an
electrical cord that has an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into
a matching receptacle that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG
PROVIDED. If it will not fit the
receptacle, have the proper receptacle
installed by a qualified electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the
equipment grounding conductor can
result in risk of electric shock. The
conductor with the green insulation
(with or without yellow stripes) is the
equipment grounding conductor. If
repair or replacement of the electrical
