ENTS
To
avoid electrical
hazards,
fire
hazards
or damage to the
table
saw, use
proper
circuit
protection.
Always
use a
separate
electrical
circuit for
your
tools. This
power
tool is
wired
at
the
factory'for
12.0Y
operation.
Connect it to a
120V,
15 Amp
circuit
and use
a
15 Amp
time delay
fuse
or circuit
breaker.
To avoid
shock or fire, replace
the cord
immediately
if
it is worn,
cut or damaged in
any way.

GUIDELINES
FOR
EXTENSION CORDS
Any
extension
cord used
for
power
tools MUST
be
grounded
(3-wire
with two flat
prongs
and one
round
ground
prong).
Make
sure
the
extension cord is in
good
condition. When
using
an extension cord, make
sure
you
use one heavy
enough to
carry the current the tool will
draw. An
undersized
cord
willcause
a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss
of
power
and overheating. The table above
shows
the
correct
size to use according to extension cord length
and nameplate
ampere rating. lf in doubt,
use
the
next
heavier
gauge
cord.
The
smaller the
gauge
number the
heavier the
cord.
NOTE: f he
12 to 16 Amp rating
is correct for this tool. lt
is highlighted
in
the
table
above.
Be
sure
your
extension cord
is
properly
wired and in
good
condition.
Always replace
a damaged extension cord or
have
it repaired
by a
qualified
person
before using it.
Protect
your
extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive
heat
and
damp or wet
areas.
Before
connecting the
saw
to
the extension cord, make
sure the
saw switch is turned
OFF.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
IN
THE EVENT
OF
A
MALFUNCTION OR
BREAKDOWN,
grounding provides
a
path
of
least
resistance for
electric current and reduces the risk
of
electric
shock.
This saw is
equipped
with
an electric cord
that
has an equipment
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
PROVIDED.
lf
it will not fit
the receptacle,
have
the
proper
receptacle
installed
by
a
qualified
electrician.
IMPROPER
CONNECTION
of the
equipment
grounding
conductor can result
in risk
of electric shock.
The
conductor
(wire)
with the
green
insulation
(with
or without
yellow
stripes)
is
the equipment
grounding
conductor.
lf
repair
or replacement of the electric
cord
or
plug
is
necessary, DO NOT connect the equipment
grounding
conductor
to
a
live terminal.
CHECK with a
qualified
electrician or service
personnel
if
you
do not
completely understand the
grounding
instructions, or
if
you
are
not
sure
the saw is
properly
grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension
cords that
have
3-prong
grounding plugs
and 3-pole
grounding
receptacles that
accept the saw's
plug.
Repair
or
replace damaged or
worn
cords
immediately.
