Phase ...................................... Single
RPM ................................... 3450
Rotation (viewed from
Sawblade end) .......... Counterclockwise
MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION
the Canadian Standards Association The ground
conductor has a green jacket and is attached to the
toot 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
WARNING: DO NOT PERMIT FINGERS TO
TOUCH THE TERMINALS OF PLUGS WHEN
INSTALLING OR REMOVING THE PLUG TO OR
FROM THE OUTLET.
MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION
1 REPEATED STALLING OF THE SAW BLADE
WILL SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THE MOTOR.
Always avoid stalling the blade If the motor has
been abused (repeated stalling) and fails to start
(hums), TURN THE SWITCH OFF, ALLOW THE
MOTOR TO COOL, THEN RE-START IT
2 ALWAYS USE SHARP BLADES A dull blade
requires excessive power and does not produce
quality results
3. NOTE: The starting relay is a GRAVITY
SENSITIVE TYPE. NEVER TURN THE POWER
ON WHILE TH E SAW tS UPSIDE DOWN AS THIS
WILL DAMAGE THE MOTOR.
4 Frequent opening of fuses or circuit breakers
may result if motor is overloaded, or if the motor
circuit is fused with a fuse other than those
recommended Do not use a fuse of greater
capacity without consulting the power company°
5 Although the motor is designed for operation on
the voltage and frequency specified on motor
nameplate, normal loads will be handled safely
on voltages not more than 10% above or below
the nameplate voltage
Heavy loads, however, require that voltage at
motor terminals by not tess than the voltage
specified on nameplate
6 Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or
incorrect connections, overloading, reduced
input voltage (which results when small size wires
are used in the supply circuit) or when the supply
circuit is extremely long Always check
connection, load and supply circuit when the
motor fails to perform satisfactorily. Check wire
sizes and lengths with table at end of this section
CONNECTING TO POWER SUPPLY OUTLET
If power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way,
have it replaced immediately.
WARNING: IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED THIS
POWER TOOL CAN CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK

If you are not sure that your outlet, as pictured
below, is properly grounded, have it checked by a
qualified electrician
Your unit is for use on 110=120volts, and has a plug
that looks like illustration below
This power tool is equipped with a 3-conductor cord
and grounding type plug which has a grounding
prong, approved by Underwriters' Laboratories and

GROUNDING PRONG
"_ PROPERLY GROUNDED
3-PRONG OUTLET
Plug power cord into a 110-120V properly grounded
type outlet protected by a 15-amp dual element
time delay or CircuibSaver fuse or circuit breaker
If the outlet you are planning to use for this power
tool is of the 2 prong type, DO NOT REMOVE OR
ALTER THE GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY
MANNER Use an adapter as shown below and
always connect the grounding lug to known
ground.
A temporary 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
A temporary adapter as illustrated is available for
connecting plugs to 2-prong receptacles The
temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician
