Power Supply
_WARNING:
The saw is factory wired for 120V
operation. Connect to 120V, 15-
AMP branch circuit and use 15-AMP
time delay fuse or circuit breaker.
Failure to connect in this way can
result in injury from electric shock
or fire.
This tool is equipped with a two wire
cord and two prong plug which can be
used in standard 120 volt A.C. outlets.
No grounding of the tool is necessary.
The housing is a dielectric material.
This helps protect you in case of failure
of the standard functional insulation
within the electrical system.
Use only identical replacement parts
when service is required. This tool is in-
tended for residential use only.
Extension Cords
The use of any extension cord will cause
some loss of power. Replace damaged
or worn cords immediately.
The following table shows the correct
size cord to use. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in
loss of power and overheating. Note:
The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
_WARNING:
To avoid electric shock or fire, im-
mediately replace worn, cut, or
damaged power cord.
If an electrical shock occurs, your
reaction to the shock may bring
your hands into contact with the
blade.

Lines
Cord Length (feet) AWG #
0-25 No. 16
26-50 No. 12
51-100 No. 10
For circuits that are farther away from
electrical circuit box, the wire size must
be increased proportionately in order to
deliver ample voltage to the saw motor.
