A. GENERAL INFORMATION

GROUNDING

Your saw'sthree-prong 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 can result in electric shock. Check with an electrician or service personnel if you are unsure about proper grounding. Do not modify the plug; if it will not fit the outlet, have the correct outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

To temporarily use the saw with a two-prong outlet, use an adapter, provided the outlet is properly grounded. Make sure the extending green wire is connected to the outlet-plate retaining screw. The temporary adapter should be used only until a prop- erly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician, and only if ordinances permit such use.

_I1 WARNING: If an extension cord is used, make sure it has a three-prong plug and is large

enough to prevent excessive voltage loss.

_1= WARNING: The saw'smotor cord must only be plugged into the receptacle provided on the saw

which is controlled by the saw'smaster switch. Never plug the motor cord directly into an

extension cord as this will prevent the ability to switch the saw off.

TYPES OF CUTS

There are six basic types of cuts: the straight cross cut, the miter cut, the rip cut, the bevel cross cut, the

bevel rip cut, and the bevel miter cut (compound miter cut). All other cuts are of these basic six. Operating

procedures for making each kind of cut are given later in this section.

_1, WARNING: Always make sure the blade guard and anti-kickback pawls are in place and working properly when making these cuts to avoid possible injury.

Cross cuts are straight, 90 degree cuts made across the grain of the workpiece. The wood is fed into the cut at a 90 degree angle to the blade and the blade is vertical. See Figure 22.

Miter cuts are made with the wood at any angle other than 90 degrees. See Figure 23. (The wood is angled to the blade.) Miter cuts may tend to "creep" away from the miter fence during cutting. This can be controlled by holding the workpiece securely against the miter fence. The miter clamp kit has been de- signed and tested for this purpose.
