WARNING: To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards
or damage to the tool,
use proper circuit protec-
tion. Your saw is wired at the factory for 120v oper-
ation. Connect to a 120v, 15-amp,
branch circuit
and use a 15-amp fuse or circuit breaker.
WARNING: To avoid shock or fire, if power cord is
worn, cut or damaged
in any way, have it replaced
immediately.
WARNING: if not properly grounded this power toom
can cause electrical shock-particularly
when used
in damp locations close to plumbing. If an electri-
cal shock occurs there
is also the potential
of a
secondary
hazard such as your hands contacting
the
sawblade.
Not
all
outlets
are
properly
grounded,
if you are not sure that your outlet is
properly grounded, have it checked by a qualified
electrician.
Your unit has a plug that looks like the one shown below.

Outlet
-,.,,
3-Prong
Plug
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
)utlet 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 ti_e 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 available 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.

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 mot6r 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. The motor may now be restarted and
the cut finished.
4. Frequent "blowing" of fuses or tripping of circuit break-
ers 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 handles
safety 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.
