The saw has a precision-built electric motor. It should be connected to a power
supply that is 230 volts, 50 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not
operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a
loss of power and motor will overheat. Before connecting the motor to the power
line, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the electric
current is of the same characteristics as indicated on the machine. All line con-
nections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the
motor. If your tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check
Do not expose the machine to rain or operate the machine in
The no-load speed of this tool is approximately 4500 rpm. This speed is not con-
stant and decreases under a load or with lower voltage. For voltage, the wiring
in a shop is as important as the motor’s horsepower rating. A line intended only
for lights cannot properly carry a power tool motor. Wire that is heavy enough for
a short distance will be too light for a greater distance. A line that can support
one power tool may not be able to support two or three tools.
This machine must be grounded while in use to protect the opera-
1. All grounded, cord-connected machines:
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine
is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and
a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is prop-
erly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided – if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instruc-
tions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the machine is
