This saw is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and
grounding type plug which has a grounding prong, approved
by Underwriters' Laboratories and the Canadian Standards
Association. The ground conductor has a green lug 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.
If the outlet you are planning to use for this saw 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 grounding lug to a known
ground.
It is recommended that you have a qualified electrician
replace the TWO prong outlet with a properly grounded
THREE prong outlet.
An adapter as shown below is available for connecting plugs
to 2-prong receptacles. The green grounding lug ex_ending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground
such as to a properly grounded outlet box.

NOTE: The adapter illustrated is for use only if you already
have a properly grounded 2-prong receptacle.
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
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-pole receptacles which will
accept the plug on the saw.
