Double-Insulated Tools

Double insulation
electric power tools which eliminates the need for the
three-wire grounded power cord and grounded power
supply system. It is a recognized and approved
system by Underwriter's Laboratories, CSA and
Federal OSHA authorities.
Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires
care and knowledge of the system and should be
performed only by a qualified service technician.
WHEN SERVICING, USE ONLY IDENTICAL
REPLACEMENT PARTS.
POLARIZED PLUGS. Your tool is equipped with
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other); this plug 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. To
reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not change
the plug in any way.
Connect this saw to a 120V, 15-amp branch cir-
cuit with a 15-amp fuse or circuit breaker. Using
the wrong size fuse can damage the motor.
Fuses may "blow" or circuit breakers may trip
frequently if motor is overloaded. Overloading
can occur if you feed the blade into the
workpiece too rapidly or start and stop too often
in a short time.

Extension Cords

Replace damaged cords immediately. Use of
damaged cords can shock, burn or electrocute.
If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with
adequate size conductors should be used to pre-
vent excessive voltage drop, loss of power or
overheating. The table shows the correct size to
use, depending on cord length and nameplate
amperage rating of tool. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. Always use UL and CSA listed
extension cords.

NOTE: The smaller the gauge number, the heavier
the cord.
Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or
incorrect connections, overload or low voltage
(such as small size wire in the supply circuit or
overly long supply circuit wire). Always check
the connections, the load and the supply circuit
whenever motor does not work well.
