Power Supply and Motor Specifications

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical hazards, fire hazards or damage to the tool, use proper circuit protection. Your tool is wired at the factory for opera- tion using the voltage shown. Connect tool to a power line with the appropriate voltage and a 15-amp branch circuit. Use a 15-amp time delay type fuse or circuit breaker. To reduce the risk of shock or fire, if power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately.

Follow the instructions on page 7 to connect the motor for 220-240V A/C operation.

DANGER: To reduce the risk of electrocution:

1.Use only identical replacement parts when servic- ing. Servicing should be performed by a qualified service technician.

2.Do not use in rain or where floor is wet.

This tool is intended for indoor residential use only.

WARNING: Do not permit fingers to touch the termi- nals of plug when installing or removing the plug to or from the outlet.

110-120 Volt, 60 Hz. Tool Information

The plug supplied on your tool may not fit into the outlet you are planning to use. Your local electrical code may require slightly different power cord plug connections. If these differences exist refer to and make the proper adjustments per your local code before your tool is plugged in and turned on.

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding con- ductor and a grounding plug, as shown. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding con- ductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conduc- tor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-ground- ing conductor to a live terminal.

If the grounding instructions are not completely under-

stood, or if you are in doubt as to whether the tool is prop- erly grounded check with a qualified electrician or service personnel.

WARNING: If not properly grounded, this tool can cause an electrical shock, particularly when used in damp locations, in proximity to plumbing, or out of doors. If an electrical shock occurs there is the poten- tial of a secondary hazard, such as your hands con- tacting the sawblade.
