2. MAKE SURE YOUR FINGERS
do not contact the terminals of the power cord plug when plugging in or
unplugging the saw.
3. GROUNDED TOOLS MUST BE PLUGGED INTO AN OUTLET THAT
ITSELF IS PROPERLY INSTALLED AND GROUNDED.
Grounding provides a low-resistance path to carry electricity to ground
away from the operator, should the tool malfunction electrically.
4. DO NOT ABUSE THE CORD.
Never carry your tool by the cord or pull on the cord to unplug it.
Protect the cord from potential sources of damage: heat, oil & solvents,
sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.
5. WHEN WORKING OUTDOORS, USE AN OUTDOOR-RATED
EXTENSION CORD.
An extension cord rated for outdoor use must be marked "W-A" or "W".
6. THIS TOOL IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY.
Do not expose electrical power tools to moisture. Rain or wet
conditions can cause water to enter the tool and lead to electric shock.
7. FOLLOW ALL LOCALLY APPLICABLE WIRING CODES
and recommended electrical connections to prevent shock or
electrocution.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of an electrical malfunction or short circuit, grounding reduces
the risk of electric shock. The motor of this machine is wired for 120 V
single phase operation and is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and a
3-prong grounding plug to fit a grounded type receptacle B. Do not remove
the 3rd prong (grounding pin) to make it fit into an old 2-hole wall socket
or extension cord. If an adaptor plug is used C, it must be attached to the
metal screw of the receptacle.
NOTE: The use of an adaptor plug is illegal in some areas, including
Canada. Check your local codes. If you have any doubts or if the
supplied plug does not correspond to your electrical outlet, consult a
qualified electrician before proceeding.
EXTENSION CORDS
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with your machine, use
only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plug and a
matching 3-pole receptacle that accepts the tool's plug. Repair or replace a
damaged extension cord or plug immediately.
Make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on the motor
I.D. plate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. The accompanying chart shows the correct
size extension cord to be used based on cord length and motor I.D. plate
amp rating.

WARNING! Do not allow familiarity with your tool to make your
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to
inflict severe injury.
IMPORTANT: The warnings, cautions and instructions detailed in this
manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that occur. It
must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are
factors that cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the
operator.
