Operation - Craftsman 124.58833 Operator's Manual

• Do not remove or alter grounding prong in any manner. In
the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electrical shock.
WARNING: Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of
plug when installing or removing from outlet.
• Plug must be plugged into matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances. Do not modify plug provided. If it will not fit
in outlet, have proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
• Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have them
repaired by an authorized service facility.
• Green (or green and yellow) conductor in cord is the
grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the electric cord
or plug is necessary, do not connect the green (or green
and yellow) wire to a live terminal.
• Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must be
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle
installed in accordance with National Electric Code and
local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: This work should be performed by a qualified
electrician.
A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter (see
Figure 36) is available for connecting plugs to a two pole
outlet if it is properly grounded.

3-Prong Plug
• Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter unless
permitted by local and national codes and ordinances.
• (A 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter is not permitted
in Canada.) Where permitted, the rigid green tab or terminal
on the side of the adapter must be securely connected
to a permanent electrical ground such as a properly
grounded water pipe, a properly grounded outlet box or a
properly grounded wire system.
• Many cover plate screws, water pipes and outlet boxes are
not properly grounded. To ensure proper ground, grounding
means must be tested by a qualified electrician.
EXTENSION CORDS
• The use of any extension cord will cause some drop in
voltage and loss of power.
• Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size to
carry the current and maintain adequate voltage.
• Use the table to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.)
extension cord.
• Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-prong grounding
type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tool
plug.
• If the extension cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way,
replace it immediately.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING: Make sure unit is off and disconnected from
power source before inspecting any wiring.
The saw is prewired for use on a 120 volt, 60Hz power
supply.
The power lines are inserted directly onto the switch. The
green ground line must remain securely fastened to the
frame to properly protect against electrical shock.
240 VOLT OPERATION
• To use the saw with a 240V, single-phase power supply,
have a qualified electrician attach a 240 volt, 15A 3-prong
(NEMA 6-15P) plug onto saw line cord and install the proper
connectors and receptacles to power supply.
• See wiring diagram (Figure 37) for wiring instructions.
