POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
IAWARNING
n
To avoid electrica! hazards, fire hazards or damage to
the chop saw, use proper circuit protection. Always use
a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This power
too! is wired at the factory for 120V operation. Connect it
to a 120V, 15 Amp circuit and use a 15 Amp time delay
fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid shock or fire, replace
the cord immediately if it is worn, cut or damaged in any
way.

Any extension cord used for power tools MUST be
grounded (3=wire with two fiat prongs and one round
ground prong)_
Make sure the extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, make sure you use one
heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table
above shows the correct size to use according to
extension cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If
in doubt, use the next heavier gauge cord. The smaller
the gauge number the heavier the cord.
NOTE: The 12 to 16 Amp rating is correct for this tool It
is highlighted in the table above.
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in
good condition. Always replace a damaged extension
cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before
using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp
objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
Before connecting the saw to the extension cord, make
sure the saw switch is turned OFR
GROUNDING INSTRUCT_ONS
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION
OR
BREAKDOWN, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of
electric shock. This saw is equipped with an electric
cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and
a grounding plug_ The plug MUST be plugged into
a matching receptacle that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and
ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it wil! not
fit the receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed
by a qualified electrician.
_MPROPER CONNECTION
of the equipment grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The
conductor (wire) with the green insulation (with or
without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding
conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord
or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the equipment
grounding conductor to a live terminal
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service personnel
if you do not completely understand the grounding
instructions, or if you are not sure the saw is properly
grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole grounding RECEPTACLES
THAT ACCEPT THE SAW'S PLUG. REPAIR
OR REPLACE DAMAGED OR WORN CORDS
_MMED_ATELY.
