Electrical Connections
WARNING
To maintain proper tool grounding,
if outlet you are planning to use for
this power tool is a 2-prong type do
not remove or alter grounding
prong in any manner.
An adapter is available for connecting the
plug to 2-prong receptacles. The green
grounding lead or grounding lug extending
from the adapter must be connected to a per-
manent ground such as to a properly ground-
ed outlet box.
Extension Cords
Note: Make sure the proper extension cord
is used and is in good condition.
The use of any extension cord will cause
some loss of power. Determine the mini-
mum wire size (American Wire Gauge No.
(AWG #)) extension cord per table. Use only
3-wire extension cords with 3-prong ground-
ing type plug and 3-pole receptacles which
accept the tool's plug.
Motor Protection & Reset Button
The motor protector opens the circuit and
stops the motor when the motor temperature
exceeds a safe level, the motor is overload-
ed, or a low voltage condition exists.
When the protector activates, immediately
turn saw off, remove yellow key and wait
for motor to cool. Push red re-set button and
listen/feel for click to indicate protector is
re-set. If you do not hear/feel a click, motor
is still too hot. Wait a while longer and
repeat. (It may take over one hour for the
motor to cool sufficiently for protector to
reset.)
