motor specifications and electrical requirements
This machine is designed to use, and is wired for oper-
ation on 120 volts, 60 Hz., alternating current.
CAUTION: A direct current motor is used in this I
saw. Changes to the internal wiring will create a I
fire hazard and may also create a shock hazard. I
For replacement motor and control board refer to parts
list in this manual.
CONNECTING TO POWER SUPPLY OUTLET
This machine must be grounded while in use to protect
the operator from electric shock. .
Plug power cord into a 120V properly grounded type
outlet protected by a 15-amp. fuse or circuit breaker.
If you are not sure that your outlet is properly grounded,
have it checked by a qualified electrician.
I WARNING: Do not permit fingers to touch the ter- I
minals of plugs when installing or removing the I
plug to or from the outlet.
I
WARNING: If not properly grounded this power
tool can cause an electrical shock, particularly
iwhen used in damp locations close to plumbing. If
an electrical shock occurs there is the potential of
a secondary hazard such as your hands contact-
i ing the saw blade.
If power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way,
have it replaced immediately.
Your unit is for use on 120 volts, and has a plug that

3-PRONG OUTLET
This power tool is equipped with a 3-conductor cord
and grounding type plug approved 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
outlet as shown.
If the outlet you are planning to use for this power tool
is of the two prong type, DO NOT REMOVE OR
ALTER THE GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MANNER.
Use an adapter as shown below 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.

PLUG I L _ CONNECTED TO A
ADAPTER
An adapter as illustrated is available for connecting
plugs to 2-prong receptacles. The green grounding lug
extending from the adapter must be connected to a per-
manent 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 a single cord when an extension cord is
required. The cord must be a 3 wire extension cord
which has a 3-prong receptacle that will accept the
tools plug.
