WARNING:
To
avoid electrical shock,
do not
per-
mit fingers to
touch the
terminals of
the
plug,
when
installing
or
removing
the plug to or from
the outlet.
WARNING: Failure to properly ground this power
tool can cause electrocution
or
serious shcok,
particularly
when
used
in
damp locations, or near
metal
plumbing.
If shocked,
your reaction
could
cause
your hands
to hit the cutting
tool.
MOTOR
THERMAL
OVERLOAD
PROTECTOR
CAUTION: To avoid motor damage,
this
motor
should be
blown
out
or
vacuumed
frequently
to
prevent sawdust buildup
which
will
interfere
with
normal
motor
ventilation
.
Your
saw may be equipped with a manual-reset
thermal-
overload
protector
designed to
open
the
power
line
circuit
when
the motor temperature
exceeds
a
safe
level,
motor is
overloaded or a low voltage condition
exists.
WARNING: Avoid
thrown
objects or blade con-
tact from unexpected
starting.
If
the protector
opens the
line
and stops
the
saw motor, immedi-
ately turn the saw switch
"OFF",
remove the key
and
allow
motor time to cool.
1.
After cooling to a safe operating
temperature, the
overload protector can
be
closed manually
by
push-
ing
the red button on the end of
the motor.
If the red
button
will
not click into place
immediately,
the
motor
is
still too hot and must be allowed
to
cool for a while
longer.
The
time
req
uired
for the motor to cool may
be equal
to the
length
of
time
the saw was used before
the
thermal overload protector opened,
to
shut off elec-
trical flow.
An audible click
will indicate
the protector
is closed
.
2.
As soon as the red
button will
click
into
running
position, the saw
may
be started and operated
normally.

3.
Frequent
"blowing" of
fuses
or
tipping
of
circuit
breake rs may result if:
a.
MOTOR IS
OVERLOADED
-Overloading can
occur
if
you feed
too
rapidly
or
if
saw is mis-
aligned.
b.
MOTOR
CIRCUIT IS FUSED
DI FFERENTLY
FROM
RECOMMENDATIONS-
Always follow
instructions for the proper
fuse/breaker. Do
not
use a
fuse/breaker of greater capacity
without
consulting
a
qualified
electrician
.
c.
LOW
VOLTAGE - Although
th
e motor is
de-
signed fo
r
operation on
the voltage
and fre-
quency specified on motor
nameplate, normal
loads
will be handled safely on voltages not
more than 10%
above
or
below the nameplate
voltage.
Heavy
loads,
however, require
that
voltage at motor
terminals equals the voltage
specified on name plate.

.
Most
motor troubles
may
be
traced
to loose or
incorrect connections,
ove
rloading,
reduced
input
voltage (such as small size wire in
the supply
circuit)
or to overly
long
supply circuit wire.
Always
check
the
connections, the load and
the supply
circuit
whenever
motor
fails to
perform
satisfactorily.
Chec
k
wire
sizes
and
length
with
the
Wire
Size
Chart on
page 6.
WIRE SIZES
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 shown
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-pole receptacles
which accept the tools plug.
CAUTION: For circuits
that
are farther away from
electrical
service
box,
the wire size must be
in-
creased
proportionately in order to deliver am ple
voltage
to the
saw motor.
