Craftsman 113.248212 Owner's Manual page 7

This power tool is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and
ground type plug listed by Underwriters' Laboratories.,
The ground conductor has a green jacket and is attached
to the tool housing at one end and to the ground prong in
the attachment plug at the other end
This plug requires a mating 3-conductor grounded type
outlet as shown above
WARNING: To maintain proper tool grounding
whenever the outlet you are planning to use for this
power tool is of the two prong type, do not remove
or alter the grounding prong in any manner. Use an
adapter as shown and always connect the ground-
ing prong to known ground.
Have a qualified electrician replace the two prong outlet
with a property grounded three prong outlet..
An adapter as shown is availabfe for connecting the plug
to a 2 prong receptacle.. The green grounding lead
extending from the adapter must be connected to a per-
manent ground such as properly grounded outlet box.,

NOTE: The adapter illustrated is for use only if you
already have a properly grounded 2-prong receptacle
NOTE: Make sure the proper extension cord is used and
is in good condition
Motor Safety Protection
Note: To avoid motor damage this motor should be blown
out or vacuumed frequently to keep sawdust from inter-
fering with normal motor ventilation,
1,,This tool should be connected to a 120v, 15 amp
branch circuit with a 15 amp fuse or circuit breaker
Failure to use the proper size fuse can result in dam-
age to the motor,,
2, If the motor fails to start, turn the power switch to the
"OFF" position immediately Unplug the tool,, Check the
sawblade to make sure it turns freely If the blade is
free, try to start the motor again If the motor still does
not start, refer to the "Motor Troubleshooting Chart",,
3 If the motor suddenly stalls while cutting wood, turn the
power switch off, unplug the tool and free the blade
from the wood Tile motor may now be restarted and
the cut finished
4 Frequent "blowing" of fuses or tripping of circuit break-
ors may result if:
a Motor is overloaded - Overloading can occur if you
feed too rapidly,.
b Low Voltage - Although the motor is designed for
operation on the voltage and frequency specified on
the motor nameplate, normal loads will be handled
safely on voltages not more than 10% above or
below the nameplate voltage, Heavy loads, however,
require voltage at motor terminals equals the volt-
age specified on nameplate
5,, Motor troubles may be traced to loose or incorrect con-
nections, overload, 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 per-
form satisfactorily Check wire size and length with the
Wire Size Chart below,
Wire Sizes
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of
power, To keep this to a minimum and to prevent over-
heating and motor burn-out, use the table below to deter-
mine the minimum wire size (AW,G,) extension cord,,
Use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong
grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which
accepts the tools plug
CAUTION: For circuits that are farther away from
electrical service box, the wire size must be
increased proportionately in order to deliver ample
voltage to the saw motor,
