Intended Use; Assembly And Adjustments - Craftsman CMES300 Instruction Manual

English
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller
the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity
of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18
gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using
more than one extension to make up the total length,
be sure each individual extension contains at least the
minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate
marking. Voltage decrease of more than 10% will cause loss
of power and overheating. These tools are factory tested; if
this tool does not operate, check power supply.

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS


WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from
power source before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or accessories.
An accidental start-up can cause injury.

WARNING: Cut hazard. Blade breakage may occur
if the blade does not extend past the shoe and the
thickness of the workpiece during the cut. Increased
risk of personal injury, as well as damage to the shoe
and workpiece may result.
Blade Installation and Removal (Fig. B)
To Install a Blade
1. Point tool away from body.
2. Use the tab on the blade clamp collar
the collar to its full open position.
3. Insert blade fully into blade clamp collar.
7
nOTE: Blade can be installed with the teeth facing up to
assist in Flush Cutting.
4. Release blade clamp collar and gently tug on the blade to
ensure blade is clamped securely.
