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 quali ed electrician. The
green colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from
the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground

This tool has a precision-built electric motor. It should be
connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz. 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.
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
Use a proper extension cord. Make sure extension cords
are in good condition. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use a cord that is heavy enough to carry the drawn
current needed by the saw. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and
overheating.
The table below shows the correct size to use, depending
on the cord length and nameplate amperage rating. If
in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord.

Be sure extension cords are properly wired and in good
condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord
or have it repaired by a quali ed technician before using it.
Protect extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat,
and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for power tools. This circuit
should be protected with a time delayed fuse. Before
connecting the tool to the power line, make sure the switch
is in the OFF position and the electric current is rated the
same as the current stamped on the motor's nameplate.
Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
WARNING:
To avoid electrical hazards, re hazards,
or damage to the tool, use proper circuit protection.
WARNING:
Keep the extension cord clear of the
working area. Positon 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.
WARNING:
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.
