CONNECTING COMPOUND MITER SAW
TO POWER SOURCE
Your new Compound Miter Saw is DOUBLE INSULATED to give you added safety. As a result, this saw is equipped
with a two-prong plug which permits you to use any conventional 120 Volt electrical outlet without concern for main-
taining a ground connection.
Before connecting the motor to the power source make sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics as
the motor - 120 Volts. All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the motor.
CAUTION: WHEN SERVICING DOUBLE INSULATED TOOLS, USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.
REPLACE OR REPAIR DAMAGED CORDS IMMEDIATELY
.
MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
Your miter saw is wired for 110-120 volt, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the miter saw to the power
source, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position. The motor provides a no-load speed of 5200 RPM.
Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and be sure to use one heavy enough
to carry the current of the saw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and over-
heating. Fig. D, shows the correct size to use depending on cord length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The
smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

REPLACEMENT PARTS
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
POLARIZED PLUGS: To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment 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 change the plug in any way.
