GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS
I ARNING: THIS TABLE SAW IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT EXPOSE TO
RAIN OR USE IN DAMP LOCATIONS.
Make sure the extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure
to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below
shows the correct size to be used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If
in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
MINIMUM GAUGE FOR EXTENSION CORDS (AWG)
(when using 120 V only)
Ampere Rating Total length of cord in feet
More Than Not More Than 25' 50' 100' 150'
0 6 18' 16' 16' 14'
6 10 18' 16' 14' 12'
10 12 16' 16' 14' 12'
Make 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.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must not be tess than a #12 wire
with a 20 A time tag fuse or a #14 wire with a 15 A time lag fuse. Before connecting the
motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the electric current
is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a lower
voltage will damage the motor.
I ARNING: THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE
OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.
