EXTENSION
CORDS
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding
plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept
the tool's plug. When using a power tool at a consid-
erable distance from the power source, use an
extension
cord heavy enough to carry the current that
the tool will draw. An undersized extension cord wiJl
cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of
power and causing the motor to overheat. Use the
chart provided below to determine the minimum
wire
size required
in an extension cord. Only round jack-
eted cords listed by UndeP,vriter's Laboratories (UL)
should be used.

When working with the tool outdoors, use an exten-
sion cord that is designed for outside use. This is
indicated by the letters WA on the cord's jacket.
Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed w_rss and cut or worn insulation.
CAUTION:
Keep the cord away from the
cu'_ingarea and position the cord so that it will
not be caught on material, tools, or other objects
during cutting.

ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION
Your Sears Abrasive Wheel Cut-off Machine is
powered by a precision built electric motor. It should
be connected to a power supply
that is 120 volts,
60.Hz.
If the machine does not operate when plugged
into art outlet, double check the power supply.
GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of a malfunction
or bre_:ciown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance
for electric current
to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is
equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into a matching outlet that is prop-
erly installed and grounded in accordance
with all
local cedes and ordinances.
Do not modifythe plug provided. If it will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installedby • qual{fied
electdcfan. Improper connectionof the equipment-
groundingconductorcan resultin a risk of electric
shock. The conductorwith insulationhaving an outer
sudaco that is green with or without yellow stripes is
the equipment-grounding conductor. If reps.iror
replacement of the electriccord or plug is necessary,
do not connectthe equipment-groundingconductorto
a live ten'ninal,
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel
it the grounding instructions _,re not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is
properly grounded.
"Repair or repl_ee a damaged or worn cord immedi-
ately.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet like the one shown in Figure 1. It also has a
grounding pin like the one shown.
