DESCRIPTION

KNOW YOUR CIRCULAR SAW (Fig. 3)
NOTE: Before attempting to use your saw, familiarize yourself with all of the
operating features and safety requirements.
Your circular saw has a precision-built electric motor and it should only be connected to
a 120-volt, 60-Hz AC ONLY power supply (normal household current). DO NOT operate
on direct current (DC). This large voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor
will overheat. If the saw does not operate when plugged into correct 120-volt,
60-Hz AC ONLY outlet, check the power supply. The saw has an 8-ft., 2-wire power cord
(no adapter needed).
