EXTENSION CORDS

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong ground- ing plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug. When using a power tool at a considerable distance from the power source, use an extension cord heavy enough to carry the current that the tool will draw. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of power and causing the motor to overheat. Use the chart provided below to determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter's Laboratories (UL) should be used.

When working with the tool outdoors, use an extension cord that is designed for outside use. This is indicated by the letters WA on the cord's jacket.

Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

CAUTION:

Keep the cord away from the cutting area and position the cord so that it will not be caught on lumber, tools, or other objects during cutting.

WARNING:

The saw's motor cord must only be plugged into the receptacle provided on the saw which is controlled by the saw's master switch. See Figure 1. Never plug the motor cord directly into an extension cord as this will prevent the ability to switch the saw OFF.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Your Ryobi Table Saw is powered by a precision built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the saw does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double check the power supply.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

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 conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor 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-grounding conductor to a live termi- nal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.

Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet like the one shown in Figure 1. It also has a grounding pin like the one shown.
