POWER CORD OR SWITCH REPLACEMENT

Unplug your saw.

,_ WARNING: Failure to unplug your saw could result in accidental starting causing possible

serious personal injury.

Remove screws securing handle cover. See Figure 23.

Carefully lift handle cover away from tool.

Note the locations of all lead wiring inside the handle and how each connection has been made. Important: When the new cord or switch is installed, identical connections must be made.

Remove the lead wires from the switch by inserting a 1/32 inch diameter pin or nail into each switch lead receptacle and pull the lead wires as shown in figure 23. This will release the wires. Remove the pin or nail with a twisting motion.

To replace lead wires, push each lead wire into its proper receptacle. NOte: Be sure to push lead wires into switch as far as possible.

Locate the switch in the handle and place all wiring so it cannot be pinched or contact screws when handle cover is replaced.
