Electrical Requirements
Connect this saw to a 120V, 15-amp branch circuit
with a 15-amp fuse or circuit breaker . Using the
wrong size fuse can damage the motor.
Fuses may "blow" or circuit breakers may trip fre-
quently if motor is overloaded. Overloading can
occur if you feed the wheel into the workpiece too
rapidly or start and stop too often in a short time.
Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or in-
correct connections, overload, low voltage (such
as small size wire in the supply circuit or a supply
circuit wire that is too long). Always check the con-
nections, the load and the supply circuit whenever
motor does not work well.
Double Insulated Tools
Double Insulation
electric power tools which eliminates the need for
the three wire grounded power cord and grounded
power supply system. It is a recognized and ap-
proved system by Underwriter's Laboratories,
CSA and Federal OSHA authorities.
IMPORTANT: Servicing of a tool with double in-
sulation requires care and knowledge of the sys-
tem and should be performed only by a qualified
service technician .
WHEN SERVICING, USE ONLY IDENTICAL
REPLACEMENT PARTS.
is a design concept used in
POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of elec-
tric shock, your tool is equipped with a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other), this plug
will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper outlet. To reduce
the risk of electric shock, do not change the plug
in any way .
Extension Cords
WARNING
cords can shock, burn or electrocute.
WARNING
is necessary, a cord with adequate size conduc-
tors should be used to prevent excessive voltage
drop, loss of power or over-heating. The table
shows the correct size to use, depending on cord
length and nameplate amperage rating of tool. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Always use
U.L. and CSA listed extension cords.
