CONNECTING SAW TO POWER SOURCE
POWER CONNECTIONS
A separate electrical circuit should be used for your tools. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and
should be protected with a 20 Amp fuse. Have a cerlified electrician replace or repair a worn cord immed-
iately. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the "OFF" position and be
sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics
as stamped on the motor nameplate. Running on
low voltage will damage the motor.
WARNING: DO NOT EXPOSE THE TOOL TO RAIN OR OPERATE THE TOOL IN DAMP LocATIoNs.
MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
Your saw is wired for 110-120 volt, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the saw to the power source,
make sure the switch is in the "OFF" position. The motor provides a no-load speed of 52OO RPM.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHTLE tN USE .
TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The motor is
equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all localcodes
and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided - if it wiil not fit the ouilet,
have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
lmproper connection of the equipment-grounding
conduc-
tor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with
insulation having an outer surface that is green with or
without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding
conduc-
tor. lf repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is
necessary do not connect the equipment grounding con-
ductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if
the grounding instructions are not completely under-
stood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded.
GROUNDED OUTLET BOX
IS LONGEST OF THE 3 BLADES
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding type plugs and 3-hole receptacles that accept
the tool's plug, as shown in Fig. 10.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an ouflet
and a plug that looks like the one shown in Fig. 10. A
temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated
in Fig. 11, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole
receptacle, as shown in Fig. 11, if a properly grounded
outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be
used only until a properly grounded outlet can be in-
stalled by a qualified electrician. TH|S ADAPTER lS
NOT APPLICABLE lN CANADA. The green-cotored
rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter
must be connected to a permanent ground, such as a
properly grounded outlet box,,as shown in Fig. 11,
CAUTION: lN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTATN THE RE-
CEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS PROPERLY GROUNDED.
IF YOU ARE NOT SURE, HAVE A CERTIFIED ELEC.
TRICIAN CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.
