rect connections, overloading, reduced input voltage
(such as small size wire in the supply circuit) or to
overly long supply circuit wire. Always check the
connections, the load and the supply circuit
whenever motor fails to perform satisfactorily. Check
wire sizes and length with the Wire Size Chart shown

cord. Use only 3 wire extension cords which have 3
prong grounding type p_ugs and 3-pole receptacles
which accept the tools plug.
CAUTION: For circuits that are farther away from
electrical service box, the wire size must be in-
creased proportionately in order to deliver ample
voltage to the saw motor.
