EXTENSION CORDS
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the
tool's plug. When using a power tool at a considerable
distance from the power source, use an extension cord
heavy enough to ¢arrythe current that the tool will draw.
An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line
voltage, resulting in a loss of power and causing the
motor to overheat. Use the chart provided below to
determine the minimum wire size required in an extension
cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter's
Laboratories (UL) should be used.

NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge
When working with the tool outdoors,use an extension
cord that is designed for outside use. This is indicated by
the letters "WA" on the cord's jacket.
Beforeusing an extensioncord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
A
WARNING: Keep the extensioncord clear of the
working ares. Position the cord sothat it will not get
caught on lumber, tools or other obstructions while
you are working with a power tool. Failure to do so
can result in seriouspersonal injury.
_ WARNING: Check extension cords before each
use. If damaged replaceimmediately. Never use tool
with a damaged cord since touching the damaged
area could cause electricalshook resulting in serious
injury.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Thistool is powered by a precision bu(It electricmotor.
Itshould be connected to a power supply that is 120
volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do
notoperate thistool on direct current (DC). A substantial
voltagedrop will cause a loss of power and the motor will
overheat. If the saw does not operate when plugged into
anoutlet, double check the power supply.
SPEED AND WIRING
The no-load speed of this tool is approximately 5,000 rpm.
Thisspeed isnot constant and decreases under a load or
with lower voltage. For voltage, the wiring in a shop isas
importantas the motor's horsepower rating.A line intend-
ed only for lightscannot properly carry a power tool motor.
Wirethat isheavy enoughfor a short distance will be too
light for a greaterdistance. A linethat can support one
power toolmay not be able to support two orthree tools.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Inthe event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with
an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conduc-
tor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a
matching outlet that is properly installed and groundedin
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do notmodify the plug provided, If it will not fitthe outlet.
have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection ofthe equipment-grounding con-
ductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor
with insulation having an outer surface that is greenwith
or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding con-
ductor. If 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
the grounding instructions are not completely understood,
or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Repair or replace a damaged orworn cord immediately.
This tool is intended for use o(1a circuitthat has an outlet
likethe one shown in figure 1. it also has a grounding pin
like the one shown.
