CONNECTING TO POWER SOURCE OUTLET
This saw must be grounded while in use to protect
the operator from electrical shock.
If power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in anyway,
have it replaced immediately.
If your saw is for use on less than 150 volts it has a
plug that looks like below.
This saw is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and
grounding type plug which has a grounding Prong,
approved by Underwriters' Laboratories and th_
Canadian Standards Association. The ground
conductor has a green lug and is attached to the to(_
housing at one end and to the ground prong in the
attachment plug at the other end.
This plug requires a mating 3-conductor grounded
type outlet as shown.
If the outlet you are planning to use for this saw is of
the two prong type DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER
THE GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MANNER. Use
an adapter as shown and always connect th_
grounding lug to a known ground.
It is recommended that you have a qualified
electrician replace the TWO prong outlet with a
properly grounded THREE prong outlet.
An adapter as shown below is available for
connecting plugs to 2-prong receptacles. The green
grounding lug extending from the adapter must be
connected to a permanent ground such as to a
properly grounded outlet box.
An adapter as illustrated is available for connecting
plugs to 2-prong receptacles.
