Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
•
Lead from lead-based paints
•
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products
•
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well-ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specifically
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
POWER SOURCE
This saw is equipped with a 15-amp motor for use with a 120-
volt, 60-HZ alternating current.
For voltage, the wiring in a shop is as important as the motor's
rating. A line intended only for lights may not be able to
properly carry the current needed for a power tool motor; wire
that is heavy enough for a short distance may be too light for
a greater distance; and a line that can support one power tool
may not be able to support two or three.
DO NOT EXPOSE THE MACHINE TO RAIN OR OPERATE THE MACHINE IN DAMP LOCATIONS.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
THIS MACHINE MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC
SHOCK.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with an
electric cord having a grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching receptacle
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug as provided on your saw or as rewired
by your electrician. If it will not fit the receptacle, have the
proper receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Refer to them often and use them to instruct others.
If tool is loaned to someone, also loan them these instructions.
POWER CONNECTIONS
A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines.
This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should be
protected with a 20-amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord
is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong
grounding-type plugs and matching receptacle which will
accept the machine's plug. Before connecting the machine
to the power line, make sure the switch (s) is in the "OFF"
position and be sure that the electric current is of the same
characteristics as indicated on the machine. A substantial
voltage drop will cause a loss of power and overheat the
motor. It may also damage the machine. This power tool is
provided with Type Y attachment power supply cord. If the
replacement of the SUPPLY CORD is necessary, this has to
be done by the manufacturer or his agent in order to avoid a
safety hazard.
Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor
can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with
insulation having an outer surface that is green with or
without yellow stripes is the grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
