POWER CONNECTION

EXTENSION CORDS
• Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. Position the cord so it will not get caught on
lumber, tools or other obstructions while you are working with a power tool. Failure to do so can
result in serious personal injury.
• Check extension cords before each use. If damaged, replace immediately. Never use product with a
damaged cord. Touching the damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.
• Use only 3-wire extension cords with 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that
accept the tool's plug. When using a power tool at a considerable distance from the power source,
use an extension cord heavy enough to carry the current that the tool will draw. An undersized
extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of power and causing the motor
to overheat. Use the chart below to determine the minimum wire size required for an extension cord.
Only round, jacketed cords listed by Underwriter's Laboratories (UL) should be used.

• When working with the tool outdoors, use an extension cord designed for outside use. This is
indicated by the letters "W-A" or "W" on the cord's jacket.
• Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

• This product is powered by a precision built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply
that is 120 V, AC only (normal household current), 60 Hz. DO NOT operate this product on direct
current (DC).
• A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat.
• If the saw does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double check the power supply.
