POWER SOURCE
This saw is equipped with a 15-amp motor for use with a 120-
volt, 60-HZ alternating current. See instructions below regarding
proper connections for your saw as wired.
For voltage, the wiring in a shop is as important as the motor's
rating. A line intended ONLY for lights may not be able to
properly carry the current needed for a power tool motor; wire
that is heavy enough for a short distance may be too light for a
greater distance; and a line that can support one power tool may
not be able to support two or three. A separate electrical circuit
should be used for your machines. This circuit should not be less
DO NOT EXPOSE THE MACHINE TO RAIN OR OPERATE THE MACHINE IN DAMP LOCATIONS.
Your machine is wired for 120 volts, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the machine to the power source, make sure the
switch is in the "OFF" position.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This tool has a precision-built electric motor. It should be connected to a POWER SUPPLY THAT IS 120 VOLTS, 60 HZ, AC ONLY
(NORMAL HOUSEHOLD CURRENT in the U.S. and Canada). DO NOT operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage
drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the
power supply.
POLARIZED PLUGS
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a
polarized outlet ONLY one way. If the plug does not fully fit in the outlet reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper outlet. DO NOT change the plug in any way.
EXTENSION CORDS
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has the capacity to
handle the current the tool will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in overheating and loss of power.
Use the chart to determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. ONLY round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter's
Laboratories (UL) should be used.
NOTE: Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
KEEP the extension cord clear of the work
area. Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber,
tools or other obstructions while you are working with a power
tool. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury. Check
extension cords before each use. If damaged replace immediately.
NEVER use tool with a damaged cord, since touching the
damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious
injury.
POWER CONNECTIONS

than #12 wire and recommended to be protected with a 20-amp
circuit breaker or a 20-amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord
is used, use ONLY 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong
grounding-type plugs and matching receptacle which will accept
the machine's plug. Before connecting the machine to the power
line, make sure the switch is in the "OFF" position and be sure
that the electric current is of the same characteristics as indicated
on the machine. A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of
power and overheat the motor. It may also damage the machine.
