ENGLISH

WARNING:

The double insulated system is intended

to protect the user from shock resulting from a break
in the tool’s internal wiring. Observe all normal safety
precautions to avoid electrical shock.

WARNING:

Double insulation does not take the place

of normal safety precautions when operating this tool.

WARNING:

Do not touch the plug blades when

inserting or removing the plug from an outlet.

WARNING:

To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards,

or damage to the tool, use proper circuit protection.

WARNING:

Keep the extension cord clear of the

working area. Position the cord so that 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.

WARNING:

Check extension cords before each use. If

damaged, replace immediately. Never use tool with a
damaged cord since touching the damaged area
could cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.

CAUTION:

Servicing of a product with double

insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of
the system and should be performed only by a
qualified service technician. For service, we suggest
you return the tool to your nearest authorized service
center for repair. Always use original factory
replacement parts when servicing. Do not use power
tools in wet of damp locations or expose them to rain
or snow.

DOUBLE INSULATION

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools,
which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire grounded
power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the
internal metal motor components with protecting insulation.
Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded.

This tool has a precision-built electric motor. It should be
connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only
(normal household current). 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 tool does not
operate when plugged into and outlet, double check the power
supply.

GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS

Use a proper extension cord. Make sure extension cords are in
good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use
a cord that is heavy enough to carry the drawn current needed
by the saw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating.
The table below shows the correct size to use, depending on
the cord length and nameplate amperage rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number,
the heavier the cord.

Be sure extension cords are properly wired and in good
condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have
it repaired by a qualified technician before using it. Protect
extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp
or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for power tools. This circuit
must not be less than #14 wire with a 15 Amp time-delayed
fuse, and should be protected with a time-delayed circuit
breaker or fuse. Before connecting the tool to the power line,
make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the electric
current is rated the same as the current stamped on the
motor’s nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage
the motor.
