CONNECTING TO POWER SOURCE OUTLET
This machine must be grounded while in use to protect the
operator from electric shock.
Plug power cord into a 110-120V properly grounded type
outlet protected by a 15-amp, dual element time delay or
Circuit-Saver fuse or circuit breaker.
If you are not sure that your outlet is properly grounded,
have it checked by a qualified electrician.
WARNING: DO NOT PERMIT FINGERS TO TOUCH THE
TERMINALS OF PLUGS WHEN INSTALLING OR
REMOVING THE PLUG TO OR FROM THE OUTLET.
WARNING: IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED THIS
POWER TOOL CAN INCUR THE POTENTIAL HAZARD
OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. PARTICULARLY WHEN USED
IN DAMP LOCATIONS IN PROXIMITY TO PLUMBING, IF
AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK OCCURS THERE IS THE
POTENTIAL OF A SECONDARY HAZARD SUCH AS
YOUR HANDS CONTACTING THE CUTTING BLADE.
tf power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way, have

as shown and always connect the grounding lug to known
ground.
It is recommended that you have a qualified electrician
replace the TWO prong outlet with a properly grounded
THREE prong outlet.
A temporary adapter as shown below is available for
connecting plugs to 2-prong receptacles. The green
grounding lug extending from the adapter must be con-
nected to a permanent ground such as to a properly
grounded outlet box.
A temporary adapter as illustrated is available for con-

have a properly grounded 2-prong _eceptacle.
The use of any extension cord wilt cause some loss of
power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent over-
heating and motor burn-out, use the table below to
determine the minimum wire size (A.WG.) extension
cord. Use only 3 wire extension cords which have 3 prong
grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which will
accept the plug on the saw.

This power toot is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and
grounding type plug listed by Underwriters' Laboratories
Association. The ground conductor has a green jacket
and is attached to the tool housing at one end and to the
ground prong in the attachment plug at the other end.
This plug requires a mating 3-conductor grounded type
outlet as shown.
CHECK MOTOR ROTATION
Place the motor on your workbench or on the floor.
Standing clear of the motor shaft, plug the motor cord into
a properiy grounded outlet. Notice the rotation of the
shaft. As you took directly at the motor shaft it shoufd be
turning in the counterclockwise direction,_J_"_--, tf the
motor shaft is turning counterclockwise, remove the ptuc
from the power outlet and continue the assembly pro-
cedures. If the motor isturning clockwise, remove the pluc.
