EXTEnSiOn COrDS Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord. As the distance from the power supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. Refer to the table shown below to determine the required minimum wire size. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example: a 14-gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16- gauge cord. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum wire size. Guidelines for Using Extension Cords • If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use. • Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical 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. Recommended Minimum Wire Gauge for Extension Cords (120 Volt) Nameplate Extension Cord Length Amperes 25 Feet 50 Feet...

17. Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it will cause binding and KICKBACK. 18. Use extra caution when making a “Pocket Cut” into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause KICKBACK. 10 Amp LASER GUIDED CIRCULAR SAW Operator’s Manual ACS10L...
OPErATiOn WArninG: 7-1/4” is the maximum blade capacity of your saw. never use a blade that is too thick to allow the outer flange washer to fit properly on the spindle. Too thick a blade will prevent the blade bolt from securing the blade on the spindle. Larger diameter blades will contact the blade guards.
KiCKBACK, possibly causing severe personal injury. It’s important to understand the correct technique for operating your saw and to learn what the correct and incorrect ways for handling your saw. equally important to working safely and realizing accurate cuts is correct preparation of the work piece and work area prior to making the first cut with the saw. • Hold the tool firmly with both hands, using both the front grip and rear handle. • Avoid placing your hand on the work piece while making a cut. • Place the work piece with the “good” side down. • Set-up and support the work piece so the cut is always on your right so the larger left side of the saw’s base will be on the part that DOeS NOT fall off when the cut is made. • Securely clamp the work piece so it will not move during the cut. • Place a clamp near the cut to further support the work piece. • Draw a guideline along the desired path of cut before starting your saw or the cut. • Move and keep the cord away from the cutting area. Position the cord to prevent it from hanging up on the work piece and you from standing or tripping on the cord while cutting. 10 Amp LASER GUIDED CIRCULAR SAW Operator’s Manual ACS10L...
DAnGEr: if, while operating the saw, the cord hangs up on the work piece or other object during a cut, release the switch trigger immediately. Unplug the saw and reposition the cord to prevent it from hanging up again. Cross-Cutting and Rip Cutting Cutting directly across the grain of a piece of wood is called crosscutting and is likely the most common type of cut done with a circular saw.
