CARE OF BLADES

Blades become dull even from cutting regular
lumber. If you find yourself forcing the saw
forward to cut instead of just guiding it through
the cut, chances are the blade is dull or coated
with wood pitch.
FOR MODEL SPT70WM CODE 72 ONLy 20 AMP, 125 VOLT "TWIST-TO-LOCK"
The Model SPT70WM code 72 is equipped with
a "Twist-To-Lock" male connector as shown
(Fig. 18). Use only a 3-wire extension cord
which has a mating "Twist-To-Lock" female
connector on one end and a 3-prong grounding
plug on the other end. (See Electrical Safety
section on page 2 for grounding information.)
If an extension cord is

necessary, a cord with
adequate size conductors that is capable
of carrying the current necessary for your
tool must be used. This will prevent
excessive voltage drop, loss of power or
overheating. Grounded tools must use 3-wire
extension cords that have 3-prong plugs and
receptacles.
NOTE: The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
