SAFETY INFORMATION
ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS AND SAFETY
: POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR
The AC motor used in this saw is a universal, nonreversible type. See “MOTOR” in the
“PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS” section on page 2.
To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards or damage to the tool, use proper circuit
protection. Your saw is wired at the factory for 120V operation. Connect to a 120V, 15A
circuit and use a 15A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker. If power cord is worn or cut or
damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately to avoid shock or fire.
DOUBLE INSULATED
This power tool is double insulated to provide a double thickness of insulation between you
and the tool’s electrical system. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal
motor components with protective insulation.
REPLACEMENT PARTS: When servicing, use only identical replacement parts list. Refer to
the replacement parts list on pages 4
1
- 48.
POLARIZED PLUGS:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this saw has a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other). This plug (illustrated at right)
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. Do not change the
plug in any way.
Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when operating
this tool. To avoid electrocution:
● Use only identical replacement parts when servicing a tool with double insulation. Servicing
should be performed by a qualified technician.
● Do not use power tools in wet or damp locations or expose them to rain or snow.
MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION
To avoid motor damage, the motor should be blown out or vacuumed frequently to keep
sawdust from interfering with motor ventilation.
● CONNECT this saw to a
1
20V, 15A circuit with a 15A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.
Using the wrong size fuse can damage the motor.
● If the motor will not start, release the trigger switch immediately. UNPLUG THE SAW.
Check the saw blade to make sure it turns freely. If the blade is free, try to start the saw
again. If the motor still does not start, refer to TROUBLESHOOTING.
● If the tool suddenly stalls while cutting wood, release the trigger switch, unplug the tool and
free the blade from the wood. The saw may now be started and the cut finished.
● FUSES may “blow” or circuit breakers may trip frequently if:
