Extension Cords
The use of any extension cord will cause
some loss of power. Determine the mini-
mum wire size (American Wire Gage No.
(AWG#)) extension cord. Use only 3-
wire extension cords with 3-prong ground-
ing type plug and 3-pole receptacles which
accept the tool's plug.
Motor Protection & Reset Button
The motor protector opens the power line
circuit and stops the motor when the
motor temperature exceeds a safe level,
the motor is overloaded, or a low voltage
condition exists.
When the protector activates, immedi-
ately turn saw off, remove yellow key and
wait for motor to cool. Push red re-set but-
ton and listen/feel for click to indicate
protector is re-set. If you do not hear/feel
a click, motor is still too hot. Wait a while
longer and repeat.
