CARE OF BLADES

Blades become dull even from cutting regular lumber. If you find yourself forcing the saw forward to cut instead of just guiding it through the cut, chances are the blade is dull or coated with wood pitch.

When cleaning gum and wood pitch from blade, unplug the saw and remove the blade. Remember, blades are designed to cut, so handle carefully. Wipe the blade with kerosene or similar solvent to remove the gum and pitch. Unless you are experienced in sharpening blades, we recommend you do not try.

TWIST-TO-LOCK CONNECTOR INSTRUCTIONS

FOR MODEL MAG77LT CODE 72 ONLY 20 AMP, 125 VOLT “TWIST-TO-LOCK”

The Model MAG77LT code 72 is equipped with

a “Twist-To-Lock” male connector as shown FIG. 16 (Fig. 16). Use only a 3-wire extension cord

which has a mating “Twist-To-Lock” female connector on one end and a 3-prong grounding plug on the other end. (See Electrical Safety section on page 2 for grounding information.)

Extension Cords

!WARNING If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with

adequate size conductors that is capable of carrying the current necessary for your tool must be used. This will prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of power or overheating. Grounded tools must use 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong plugs and receptacles.

NOTE: The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
