Check Before Operation:
• Make sure that extension cord length is properly sized
for motor used on saw. See chart below.
EXTENSION CORD SIZE (A.W.G. Minimum)
25 ft

120 V
AWG 14
Use only extensions cords that are intended for
•
outdoor use and have an electrical rating not less than
the rating of the product. Use only 3-wire extension
cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole
receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
•
Keep all connections dry, off the ground, away from-
heat and sharp edges. Always disconnect the exten-
sioncord from the receptacle before disconnecting the
product form the extension cord. Do not touch the plug
with wet hands. Repair or replace a damaged or worn
cord immediately.

Drip Loop
• To avoid getting the plug wet, a "drip loop" should be
arranged to properly position the power cord relative to
the power source, as indicated above. The "drip loop"
is that part of the cord below the level of the receptacle,
or the connector, if an extension cord is used. This
method of positioning the cord prevents water from
travelling along the power cord and coming in contact
with the receptacle.
•
If the plug or receptacle gets wet, DO NOT unplug the
cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that
supplies power to the tool. Then unplug and examine
for presence of water in the receptacle.

OPERATION
Always make sure the saw is connected to a properly
grounded electrical outlet. Failure to comply with this
warning could result in serious bodily injury or death!
• In case of a malfunction, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of
electric shock.
•
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit, have
the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. If
repair or replacement of the electric plug is necessary,
do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a
live terminal.

(C)
This saw is intended for use on a circuit as shown
•
above. The tool has a grounding plug (A). A temporary
adapters (C) may be used to connect this plug to a
2-pole receptacle (B), if a properly grounded outlet is
not available. The adapter should be used only until a
grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electri-
cian.
NOTE: Use of a temporary adapter is not permitted in
Canada.
DO NOT operate on low voltage! Low voltage causes
loss of power, motor overheating, and possibly motor
winding burnout. Voltage should be checked at the mo-
tor while it is operating.
