General Electrical Connections
DANGER: To avoid electrocution:
1. Use only identical replacement parts when ser-
vicing. Servicing should be performed by a
qualified service technician.
2. Do not use in rain or where floor is wet.
This tool is intended for indoor residential use
only.
WARNING Do not permit fingers to touch the ter-
minals of plug when installing or removing the
plug to or from the outlet.

If power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way
have it replaced immediately
110-120 Volt, 60 Hz. Tool Information
Double Insulated
The miter saw is double insulated to provide a double
thickness of insulation between you and the tool's electri-
cal system. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the
internal metal motor components with protectin_j insula
tion
Polarized Plug
Your unit has a plug that looks like the one shown.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. if the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse plug If it still does
not fit contact a qualified electrician to install the proper
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way
I
WARNING: Double insulation does not take the I
place of normal safety precautions when operating
I
this tool.
Motor Safety Protection
IMPORTANT: To avoid motor damage, this motor should
be blown out or vacuumed frequently to keep sawdust
flora interfering with normal motor ventilation.
1.Connect this tool to a 120v, 15-amp branch circuit with
a 15-amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. Using the
wrong size fuse can damage the motor
2 If the motor won't starL release the trigger switch
immediately. UNPLUG THE TOOL. Check the saw
blade to make sure it turns freely. If the blade is free.
try to start the motor again. If the motor still does not
start, refer to the "Motor Trouble-Shooting Chart."
3 If the motor suddenly stalls while cutting wood, release
the trigger switch, unphlg the tool. and free the blade
from the wood. The motor may now be lestarted and
the cut finished.
Wire Sizes
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 To keep this to a minimum and to prevent over-
heating and motor burn-out, use the table shown to
determine the minimum wire size (AW.G) extension
cord.
4.Fuses may "blow" or circuit breakers may trip fro
quently if:
a. Motor Is Overloaded-Overloading can occur il you feed
too rapidly or make too many staWstops in a short time
b.Voltages not more than 10% above or below the
nameplate voltage can handle normal loads For
heavy loads howeve_ the voltage at motor terminals
must equal the voltage speciiled on nameplate
5.Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or incorrect
connections, overload, low voltage (su(h as small size
wire in the supply circuit) or to overly long supply circuit
wire, Always check the connections, the load and the
supply circuit whenever motor doesn't work wetl Check
wire sizes and length with the Wire Size Chart bel_!w
