Electrical Connections

WARNING

To maintain proper tool grounding, if outlet you are planning to use for this power tool is a 2-prong type do not remove or alter grounding prong in any manner.

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

Extension Cords

Note: Make sure the proper extension cord is used and is in good condition.

The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. Determine the minimum wire size (American Wire Gauge No. (AWG #)) extension cord per table. Use only 3-wire exten- sion cords with 3-prong grounding type plug and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tool's plug.

Motor Protection & Reset Button

The motor protector opens the circuit and stops the motor when the motor temperature exceeds a safe level, the motor is over- loaded, or a low voltage condition exists.

When the protector activates, immediately turn saw off, remove yellow key and wait for motor to cool. Push red re-set button and lis- ten/feel for click to indicate protector is re-set. If you do not hear/feel a click, motor is still too hot. Wait a while longer and repeat. (It may take over one hour for the motor to cool suffi- ciently for protector to reset.)
