General Electrical Cautions

This saw should be grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. This work should be done by a qualified electrician. The saw should be grounded to protect the user from electrical shock.

Wire Sizes

Caution: For circuits which are far away from the electrical service box, the wire size must be in- creased in order to deliver ample voltage to the motor. To minimize power losses and to prevent motor overheating and burnout, the use of wire sizes for branch circuits or electrical extension cords accord- ing to the following table is recommended.

7.Remove loose items and unnecessary workpieces from area before starting machine.

8.Bring adjustable saw guides and guards as close as possible to the workpiece.

9.Always wear protective eye wear when operating, servicing, or adjusting machinery. Eyewear shall be impact resistant, protective safety glasses with side shields complying with ANSI Z87.1 specifications. Use of eye wear which does not comply with ANSI Z87.1 specifications could result in severe injury from breakage of eye protection. See Figure B.
