Improper connection
of the equipment
grounding con-
ductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conduc-
tor 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-ground-
ing conductor to a live terminal.
If the grounding
instructions are not completely
under-
stood, or if you are in doubt as to whether the tool is prop-
erly grounded check with a qualified electrician or service
)ersonnel,
WARNING: If not properly grounded, this tool can
cause an electrical shock, particularly when used
in damp locations, in proximity to plumbing, or out
of doors. If an electrical shock occurs there is the
potential
of a secondary
hazard, such as your
hands contacting the sawblade.

has been
tripped, pushing the Speed Control
Knob "OFF" will
reset it.
4. Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or incor-
rect connections, overload, low voltage (such as small
size wire in the supply circuit) or to overly long supply
circuit wire. Always check the connections
the toad
and the supply circuit whenever
motor doesn't work
well. Check wire sizes and length with the Wire Size
Chart.
