motor specifications and electrical requirements

This machine is designed to use, and is wired for oper- ation on 120 volts, 60 Hz., alternating current.

CAUTION: A direct current motor is used in this I saw. Changes to the internal wiring will create a I

fire hazard and may also create a shock hazard. I

For replacement motor and control board refer to parts list in this manual.

CONNECTING TO POWER SUPPLY OUTLET

This machine must be grounded while in use to protect

the operator from electric shock.

Plug power cord into a 120V properly grounded type outlet protected by a 15-amp. fuse or circuit breaker.

If you are not sure that your outlet is properly grounded, have it checked by a qualified electrician.

I WARNING: Do not permit fingers to touch the ter- I minals of plugs when installing or removing the I

plug to or from the outlet.

WARNING: If not properly grounded this power tool can cause an electrical shock, particularly iwhen used in damp locations close to plumbing. If an electrical shock occurs there is the potential of a secondary hazard such as your hands contact- i ing the saw blade.

If power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately.

Your unit is for use on 120 volts, and has a plug that looks like the one shown below.

3-PRONG OUTLET

This plug requires a mating 3-conductor grounded type outlet as shown.

If the outlet you are planning to use for this power tool is of the two prong type, DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER THE GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MANNER. Use an adapter as shown below and always connect the grounding lug to a known ground.

It is recommended that you have a qualified electrician replace the TWO prong outlet with a properly grounded THREE prong outlet.

CONNECTED TO A

ADAPTER

An adapter as illustrated is available for connecting plugs to 2-prong receptacles. The green grounding lug extending from the adapter must be connected to a per-

manent ground such as to a properly grounded outlet box.

NOTE: The adapter illustrated is for use only if you already have a properly grounded 2-prong receptacle.

The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of

power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent over- heating and motor burn-out, use the table below to

determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.) extension cord.

Use only a single cord when an extension cord is required. The cord must be a 3 wire extension cord which has a 3-prong receptacle that will accept the tools plug.
