It is recommended
that you have a qualified electrician
a. MOTOR IS OVERLOADED
- Overloading
can
replace the two prong outlet with a properly grounded
three prong outlet.
An adapter as shown is available forconnecting the plug
to 2-prong receptacles.
The green grounding lead
extending from the adapter must be connected to a
permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet
box.

LOW VOLTAGE - Although the motor is designed
for operation on the voltage and frequency speci-
fied on the motor nameplate, normal loads will be
handled safely on voltages not. more than I0%
above or below the nameplate voltage.
Heavy
loads, however, require that voltage at motor ter-
minals equals the voltage specified on nameplate.
5. Most motor troubles
may be traced to loose or
incorrect connections,
overload, reduced input volt-
age (such as small size wire in the supply circuit) or to
ovedy long supply circuit wire.
Always check the
connections, t he load and the supply circuit whenever
motor fails to perform satisfactorily.
Check wire size
and length with the "Wire Size Chart" betow.
MOTOR SAFETY
PROTECTION
1. This tool should be connected to a 120V, t5 amp
branch circuit with a 15 amp fuse or circuit breaker.
Failure to use the proper size fuse can result in
damage to the motor.
2. If the motor fails to start, control knob should be
pushed down to "OFF" position immediately.
UN-
P LUG THE TOOL. Check the saw blade to make sure
it operates 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."
WiRE SIZES
The use of any extension cord will cause some toss of
power.
To keep this to a minimum and to prevent
overheating and motor burn-out, use the table below 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-poIe receptacles
which accepts 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 ample
voltage to the saw motor.
3. If the motor suddenly stalls while cutting wood, turn
the power switch off, unplug the tool, and free the
blade from the wood. The motor may now be re-
st&rted and the cut finished.
4. Frequent "blowing"
of fuses or tripping of circuit
breakers may result if:

1. Kerr- the slot cut by the blade
2, Leading Edge - the edge of the workpiece which is
pushed into the blade first.
3. Sawblade Path -The area of the workpiece directly
in line with and moving toward the sawblade edge.
4. Blade Tooth Set - the distance that the edge of the
sawbtade tooth is bent (on set) outward from the side
of the blade.
5. Trailing Edge -the workpiece edge last cut by the
sawblade.
6. Workplece -the item on which the culting operation
is being performed.
