Electrical Connection

Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate marking. 120 volts, AC/DC means that your saw will operate on alternating or direct current. A voltage decrease of 10 percent or more will- cause a loss of power and overheating. All B&D tools are factory tested. If this tool does not operate, check the power supply.

Grounding

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.

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet like the one illustrated in sketch A. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in sketches B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in
