Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the machine. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Fig. D-1 shows the correct gauge to use depending on the cord length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

UNPACKING AND CLEANING

Carefully unpack the machine and all loose items from the shipping container(s). Remove the protective coating from all unpainted surfaces. This coating may be removed with a soft cloth moistened with kerosene (do not use acetone, gasoline or lacquer thinner for this purpose). After cleaning, cover the unpainted surfaces with a good quality household floor paste wax.

Remove the styrofoam packing and any other loose items from the inside of the saw cabinet. To take off the motor cover, use a hex wrench to remove the 1/4 - 20 x 5/8" hex-head screw (B) Fig. 1. Push the motor cover to one side firmly to depress the clips and pull the motor cover off. See the section “MOTOR COVER”.

IMPORTANT: The saw is shipped with the saw arbor in the 45° position.

NOTE: You must first attach the handwheel to the saw (see the section “BLADE TILTING HANDWHEEL”), then loosen the locking knob on the handwheel. Turn the handwheel until the saw arbor is in the 90° position. Remove the styrofoam packing from inside the saw cabinet. Tighten the locking knob.
