APPLICATIONS

(Use only for the purpose listed below)

Cutting all types of wood products (lumber, plywood, paneling).

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Your circular saw has a precision built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, 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 your saw does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the power

supply.
