WARNING: TO AVOID ELECTRICAL HAZARDS, FIRE HAZARDS, OR DAMAGE TO THE TOOL, USE

PROPER CIRCUIT PROTECTION. YOUR SAW IS WIRED AT THE FACTORY FOR 120V OPERATION.

CONNECT TO A 120V, 15-AMP, BRANCH CIRCUIT AND USE A 15-AMP FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER.

TO AVOID SHOCK OR FIRE, IF POWER CORD IS WORN OR CUT, OR DAMAGED IN ANY WAY, HAVE IT REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.

IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED THIS POWER

TOOL CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK -- PARTICULARLY WHEN USED IN DAMP LOCA- TIONS CLOSE TO PLUMBING. IFAN ELECTRICAL SHOCK OCCURS THERE IS ALSO THE POTEN- TIAL OF A SECONDARY HAZARD SUCH AS YOUR HANDS CONTACTING THE SAWBLADE. NOT ALL OUTLETS ARE PROPERLY GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE THAT YOUR OUTLET IS PRO-

PERLY GROUNDED, HAVE IT CHECKED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

Your unit has a plug that looks like the one shown below.

GROUNDING PRONG

This power tool is equipped with a 3-conductor cord

and ground type plug listed by Underwriters' Labora- tories. The ground conductor has a green jacket and is attached to the tool housing at one end and to the ground prong in the attachment plug at the other end.

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

WARNING: TO MAINTAIN PROPER TOOL GROUND-

ING WHENEVER THE OUTLET YOU ARE PLAN- NING 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 AND ALWAYS CON-

NECT THE GROUNDING PRONG TO KNOWN GROUND.

It is recommended that you have a qualified electri- cian replace the two prong outlet with a properly grounded three prong outlet.

An adapter as shown is available for connecting the plug to 2-prong receptacles. The green grounding lead extending from the adapter must be connected toa permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.

MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION

CAUTION: To avoid motor damage this motor should be blown out or vacuumed frequently to keep sawdust from interfering with normal motor ventila- tion.

1.This tool should be connected to a 120V, 15 amp branch circuit with a 15 amp fuse or circuit breaker. Failure to use the proper size fuse can result in damage to the motor.

2.If the motor fails to start, turn the power switch to the "OFF" position immediately. UNPLUG THE TOOL. Check the saw blade to make sure it turns

freely. If the blade is free, try to start the motor again. If the motor still does not start, refer to the "Motor Trouble-Shooting Chart."

3.If the motor suddenly stalls while cutting wood, turn the power switch off, unplug the too!, and free the blade from the wood The motor may now be restarted and the cut finished.

. Frequent "blowing" of fuses or tripping or circuit breakers may result if:

a. MOTOR IS OVERLOADED - Overloading can occur if you feed too rapidly.
