Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition. When using an extension
cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the cur-
rent of the saw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Fig. 11B, shows the correct gauge to use depending on
the cord length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

UNPACKING AND CLEANING
Carefully unpack the tool and all loose items from the shipping container(s). Remove the protective coating from all
unpainted surfaces. This coating may be removed with a soft cloth moistened with kerosene (do not use acetone, gaso-
line or lacquer thinner for this purpose). After cleaning, cover the unpainted sufaces with a good quality paste wax.
