110-120 Volt, 60 Hz. Tool Information

The plug supplied on your tool may not fit into the outlet
you are planning to use. Your local electrical code may
require slightly different power cord plug connections. If
these differences exist refer to and make the proper
adjustments per your local code before your tool is
plugged in and turned on.
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 tool is equipped
with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding con-
ductor and a grounding plug, as shown. The plug must
be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding con-
ductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conduc-
tor with insulation having an outer surface that is green
with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding
conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or
plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-ground-
ing conductor to a live terminal.

ward from the face of the blade.

Workpiece
The item on which the cutting operation is being per-
formed. The surfaces of a workpiece are commonly
referred to as faces, ends, and edges.

stood, or if you are in doubt as to whether the tool is prop-
erly grounded check with a qualified electrician or service
personnel.
WARNING: If not properly grounded, this tool can
cause an electrical shock, particularly when used in
damp locations, in proximity to plumbing, or out of
doors. If an electrical shock occurs there is the poten-
tial of a secondary hazard, such as your hands con-
tacting the sawblade.
