EXTENSION
CORDS
Use oniy3-wirs extensioncords t_et have 3-prong ground-
ing plugsand 3-pole receptaclesthat accept the tool's plug.
When usinga powertoolat a considerabledistancefromthe
powersource, use an extensioncordheavy enoughto carry
the current that the tool will draw. An undersizedextension
cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in e loss of
power and causing the motor to overheat. Use the chart
providedbelow to determine the minimum wire size required
in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by
Underwriters Laboratories(UL)should be used.

-Used on 12 gauge- 20 amp circuPL
NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge
When workingwith the too] outdoors, use an extension
cord that is designed for outside use. This is indicated by
the letters "WA"on the cord'sjacket.
Before using an extension oord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
WARNING: Keep the extension cord deer of the
working arcs. Position the cord so that it will not get
caught on lumber,tools or otherobstructionswhile
you are workingwi.itn a power toot. Failureto do so
can resultin serious personal injury.

WARNING: Check extension cordsbel:oreeach use.
If damaged replaceimmediately.Never usetool with a

WARMING:
The saw's motor cord must only be
pluggedintothe receptacle providedonthe saw which
is controlledby the saw's master switch. Never plug
the motor cord d_'ectty"into an extension cord as this
wi_ stop the saw's motor from turning OFF.

ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION
This too[ is powered by a precisionbuilt electricrootor.
It shouldbe connected to a power supply t_at is 120
volts, 60 Hz, A¢ only (normal household currentJ. Do
not operate this toot on directcurrent (DC). A substantial
voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will
overheat, fftha saw does not operatewhen plugged into
an outlet, double check the power supply.
SPEED AND WIRING
The no-load speed of this tool is approximately 4,800 rpm.
Thissbeed is not constant and decreases under a load or
with lower voltage. For voltage, the wiringin a shop is as
important as the motor's horsepowerratlt_. A Line intend-
ed only for lights oannot properly carry a power tool motor.
Wire that is heavy enough for a shortdis_nce wi!!be too
light for a greater distance.Ailne that can support one
power tool _ay not bs able to support two or three tools.
