satisfactorily. Check wire sizes and lengths with the
table in the next paragraph. Replace or repair damaged
or worn cord immediately.
CONNECTING TO POWER SOURCE OUTLET
This saw must be grounded while in use to protect the
operator from electrical shock.
If power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way, have
it replaced immediately.
CAUTION: This saw is wired for operation on 240 volts
only. Connect to a 15 ampere branch circuit protected by a
15 ampere time delay or circuit saver fuse or circuit
breaker.
WARNING: Do not permit fingers to contact the terminals
of power or motor plugs when installing or removing the
plug to or from a live power source. Hold the plug as
shown.

This power tool is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and
grou nding type plug which has a ground ing 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.
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 lugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the
tools plug.
Extension Cord Length Wire Size A.W.G,
Up to 100 ft ......................... 14
100 ft. to 200ft ...................... 12
200 ft. to 400 ft ....................... 8
NOTE: For circuits of greater length, the wire size must be
increased proportionately in order to deliver ample voltage
to the saw motor.
