To reduce the risk of injury, read, understand, and follow the instruction manual before using any tool
or equipment. When using tools or equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk
of personal injury. Improper operation, maintenance, or modification of tools or equipment could result in serious
injury and property damage. There are certain applications for which tools and equipment are designed. There are
specific limitations and special hazards associated with each tool. do not modify and/or use for any application other

gROUNdINg INSTRUCTIONS
FOLLOW ALL WIRINg COdES and recommended electrical connections to prevent shock or
electrocution.
If the saw is of grounded construction, read the following instructions.
SHOCK HAZARd. THIS MACHINE MUST BE gROUNdEd WHILE IN USE. SERIOUS INJURY COULd
RESULT.
ALL gROUNdEd, CORd-CONNECTEd MACHINES
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and
a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet 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 outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of
electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the
equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the
equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the machine is properly grounded. Use only
three-wire extension cords that have three-prong grounding type plugs and matching three-conductor receptacles that
accept the machine's plug, as shown in Fig. A. Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

RATINg LESS THAN 150 VOLTS
If the machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Fig. A, the machine
will have a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig. A. A temporary adaptor, which looks like the adapter
illustrated in Fig. B may be used to connect this plug to a matching two-conductor receptacle as shown in Fig. B if a
properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet
can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must
be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. Whenever the adapter is used, it must
be held in place with a metal screw.
