Baileigh Industrial BMS-10, Operating Instructions And Parts Manual

Page: 17 / 48

Never use saw without cover plate
securely in place and screw tightened down.
Failure to comply may cause serious injury.
If arbor bolt should accidentally loosen, the cover plate
prevents it from falling out, and helps prevent the
spinning blade from coming off the saw.
Verify that the flanges are clean
and properly installed. Lower the blade into the
table and verify that it does not come into contact
with the base, table, or table inserts. Failure to
comply may cause serious injury.
7.0 Electrical connections
To avoid electrical hazards, fire
hazards, or damage to the machine, use proper
circuit protection. Your saw is wired at the factory
for 115V operation. Connect to a 120V 15 amp
circuit and use a 15 amp time delay fuse or circuit
breaker. If power cord is worn or cut, or damaged
in any way, have it replaced immediately to avoid
shock or fire.
Before connecting to power source, be sure switch is
in
off position.
This machine is double insulated to provide a double
thickness of insulation between the user and the
machine's electrical system. All exposed metal parts
are isolated from the internal metal motor components
with protective insulation.
This saw has a plug that looks like the one shown in
Figure 7-1.
Figure 7-1
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this saw has 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. Do not alter the plug in any
way.
Double insulation does not take the place of normal
safety precautions when operating this tool.
To avoid electrocution:
1. Use only identical replacement parts when
servicing a tool with double insulation. Servicing
should be performed by a qualified technician.
2.
Do not use power tools in wet or damp locations
or expose them to rain or snow.
7.1 Extension cords
The use of extension cords is discouraged; try to
position equipment within reach of the power source.
If an extension cord becomes necessary, be sure it is
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.
Table 3 shows recommended size to use depending
on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Cord length Wire gauge (AWG)
0 – 25 ft. 16
25- 50 ft. 14

Important:
Make certain the receptacle in question is
properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a
registered electrician check the receptacle.
