Connecting the Power

1.Place the power ON/OFF switch (Figure 10) in the OFF position (down).

2.Connect an extension cord of adequate current carrying capacity to the power plug on the electric motor.

3.MAKE CERTAIN that the correct size extension cord is used. Undersized wires will burn out motors. Use Table 6 to determine the correct extension cord size.

DANGER

NEVER grab or touch a live

power cord with wet hands, the

possibility exists of electrical shock,

electrocution, and even death!

NEVER use a damaged or worn extension cable when connecting to a power source. Defective cables may cause damage

to the saw’s electric motor or electrical shock.

ALWAYS use a grounded (3-wire) extension cord and MAKE CERTAIN that the motor is connected to a properly grounded electric circuit. If possible use a ground fault circuit interrupter to protect the operator from possible electric shock.

4.Plug the free end of the extension cord into an AC power receptacle. Whenever possible use a GFCI receptacle (Figure 11) to reduce the risk of electrical shock.

Using the Cutting Table

„„The ruler guide has inches marked along the top to allow convenient measurements and to promote precision cuts. See Figure 12.

„„The table spans an area of 16" x 16" (406 x 406 mm). With the optional side extension table equipped, the cast aluminum cutting table spans an area of 25" x 16" (635 x 406 mm), which allows it to provide greater support for handling larger materials.

„„Cutting table is covered by a rubber mat that provides a firm, durable work surface.

„„The MasterGuide Template Base should be used together with the cutting table to ensure precision while making cuts.
