1. 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. This saw is equipped with an electric cord that has a 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 local

codes and ordinances.

2. Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have

a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

3. Improper connection of the grounding conductor can result in

a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an

outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the

grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric

cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the grounding

conductor to a live terminal.

4. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the

grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in

doubt as to whether the saw is properly grounded.

5. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding

plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the saw plug. Repair

or replace damaged or worn cords immediately.

6. THIS SAW IS INTENDED FOR USE ON A CIRCUIT that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Sketch B of Figure

1. The saw has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch A of Figure 1. A temporary adapter, which looks

like the adapter illustrated in Sketch C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Sketch B if a

properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can

be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug and the like, extending from the adapter must be

connected to a permanent ground such as a properly-grounded outlet box.

1. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position

the saw to one side of a wall mounted receptacle to prevent water from

dripping onto the receptacle or plug. The user should arrange a "drip loop" in

the cord connecting the saw to a receptacle. The "drip loop" is that part of the

cord below the level of the receptacle, or the connector if an extension cord is

used, to prevent water traveling along the cord and coming in contact with the

receptacle.

2. If the plug or receptacle does get wet, DON'T unplug the cord. Disconnect the

fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the saw, then unplug and

examine for the presence of water in the receptacle.

1. Use only extension cords that are intended for outdoor use. These extension cords are identified by a marking "Acceptable

for use with outdoor appliances, store indoors while not in use." Use only recommended extension cords. Do not use

damaged extension cords. Examine extension cord before using and replace if damaged. Do not abuse extension cords and

do not yank on any cord to disconnect. Keep cord away from heat and sharp edges. Always disconnect the extension cord

from the receptacle before disconnecting the product from the extension cord.

2. WARNING - To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch the plug with wet

hands.
