DOUBLE INSULATED []
The miter saw is double insulated to provide a double
thickness of insulation between you and the tool's
electrical system. All exposed metal parts are isolated
from the internal metal motor components with
protecting insulation.
Replacement parts - When servicing use only identical
replacement parts.
Polarized plugs - This saw has a plug that looks like
the one shown below:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this caw 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 the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the
proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
Double insulation does not take the place of normal
safety precautions when operating this tool.
To avoid electrocution:
1.
Use only identical replacement parts when servicing
a tool with double insulation.
Servicing should be performed by a qualified
technician.
2,
Do not use power tools in wet or damp areas or
expose them to rain.
This tool is intended for indoor use only.
MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION
IMPORTANT:
To avoid motor damage, the motor should be blown OL_
or vacuumed frequently to keep sawdust from interfering
with the motor ventilation.
1. CONNECT this saw to a 120V, 15 amp. 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 start, release the trigger switch
immediately. UNPLUG THE SAW. Check the saw
blade to make sure it turns freely. If the blade is free,
try to start the saw again, if the motor stilldoes not
start, refer to the "TROUBLESHOOTING
CHART".
3. IF the saw suddenly stalls while cutting wood, release
the tdgger switch, unplug the tool, and free the blade
from the wood. The saw may now be restarted and
the cut finished.
4. FUSES may "blow" or circuit breakers may trip
frequenUy if:
a. MOTOR is overloaded - overloading can occur if
you feed too rapidly or make too many start/stops
in a short time.
b. LINEVOLTAGE is more than 10% above or below
the nameplate voltage rating. For heavy loads,
however, the voltage at motor terminals must equal
the voltage specified on the name plate.
c. IMPROPER or dull saw blades are used.
5. Most motor troubles may be traced to k_oseor incorrect
connections, overload, low voltage or inadequate
power supply wiring. Always check the connections,
the load and the supply circuit if the motor doesn't run
well. Check wire sizes and length with the Extension
Cord Chart below.
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and
cause overheating, The table below shows the correct size
to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
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.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This
circuit must not be less than #12 wire and should be
protected with a 15 Amp time delay fuse. Before
connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the
switch is in the OFF position and the electric current is
rated the same as the current stamped on the motor
nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the
motor.

CAUTION: In a11cases, make certain the receptacle in
question is properly grounded, If you are not sure have
a certified electrician check the receptacle.
