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 con-
tact 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 in figure 3.
MOTOR
SAFETY PROTECTION
The saw motor is equipped with a manual-reset
thermal
overload protector, designed to open the power line circuit
when the motor temperature exceeds a safe value. (See
figure 4.)
1. If the protector opens the line and stopsthe saw motor,
press the saw switch to the "OFF" position immediately
and allow the motor to cool.
2. After cooling to a safe operating temperature, the over-
load protector can be closed manually by pushing in the
red button on the motor terminal box cover. If the red
button will not snap into place immediately, the motor
is still too hot and must be allowed to cool for a while
longer.
3. As soon as the red button will snap into running position,
the saw may be started and operated normally by
pulling the saw switch to the "'ON" position.
4. Frequent opening of fuses or circuit breakers may result
if motor is overloaded, or if the motor circuit is fused
with a fuse other than those recommended. Do not use
a fuse of greater capacity without consulting the power
company.
5. Although
the motor is designed for operation on the
voltage and frequency specified on motor nameplate,
normal loads will be handled safely on voltages not
more than 10% above or below the nameplate voltage.
.
Heavy loads, however,
require that voltage at motor
terminals
be not less than the voltage
specified
on
nameplate.
Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or incorrect
connections, overloading,
reduced input voltage
(which
results when small size wires are used in the supply
circuit)
or when the supply
circuit is extremely
long.
Always check connections, load and supply circuit when
the motor fails to perform satisfactorily.
Check wire sizes
and lengths with the table in the next paragraph.
Re-
place or repair
damaged
or worn cord immediately.
WIRE SIZES
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 deter-
mine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.)
extension cord. All
cords should be 3-wire, grounded.
Extension Cord Length
Wire Size A.W.G.
50 ft. or less
14
50 ft. to 100 ft.
12
100 ft. to 150 ft.
10
150 ft. to 200 ft.
8
200 ft. to 400 ft.

NOTE: For circuits of greater length, the wire
size must be increased proportionately in order
to deliver ample voltage to the saw motor.
ASSEMBLY
AND
ADJUSTMENTS
1. Remove the "'loose" parts; clean the parts and the
basic saw assembly thoroughly.
(See figure 1.) Items
having a rust-preventive coating,
(saw table, etc.) may
be cleaned with a cloth saturated with kerosene. Wipe
other parts with a clean, dry cloth.
CAUTION:
Before
attempting
to use the
saw, assemble
it as outlined in the follow-
ing instructions. All adjustments
are care-
fully
checked prior to shipping
the saw.
However_
rough handling
in transit
may
necessitate
some readjustments.
2. Assemble the basic saw assembly and check all ad-
justments as outlined in the following instructions:
a. Installation
of Legs.
(1) With saw upside down, install legs and leg stif-
