Motor Specifications and Electrical

CAUTION: To avoid motor damage, this motor

should be blown out or vacuumed frequently to

prevent sawdust buildup which will interfere with normal motor ventilation,

1 Frequent "blowing" of fuses or tripping of circuit break- ers may result if:

a Motor is overloaded - Overloading can occur if you feed too rapidly or if saw is misaligned

b, Motor circuit is fused differently from recommenda- tions - Always follow instructions for the proper fuse/ breaker Do not use a fuse/breaker of greater capacity without consulting a qualified electrician

c Low voltage - Although the motor is designed for operation on the voltage and frequency specified on motor nameplate, normal loads will be handled safely on voltage not more than 10% above or below the nameplate voltage Heavy loads, however, require that voltage at motor terminals equals the voltage specified on nameplate,

2.Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or incor- rect connections, overloading, reduced input voltage (such as small size wire in the supply circuit) or to overly long supply circuit wire, Always check the con- nections, the load and the supply circuit whenever motor fails to perform satisfactorily Check wire sizes and length with the Wire Size Chart below

Wire Sizes

NOTE: Make sure the proper extension cord is used and is in good condition

The use of any extension cord will cause some loss o! power To keep this to a minimum and to prevent over- heating and motor burn-out, use the table shown to determine the minimum wire size (AWG,) extension cord

Use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-prong receptacles which accept the tool's plug
