EXTENSION C O R D S
Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire extension cord
which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and a 3-hole
receptacle which will accept the tool s plug. When using
an extension cord, 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
overheating. Fig. 72 shows the correct size to use de-
pending on cord length. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

CAUTION: THIS TO O L M U S T B E G R O U N D E D WHILE IN U S E TO P R O T E C T T H E O P E R ATO R F R O M ELECTRIC
SHOCK.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. The motor is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with insula-
tion having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if
in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-hole receptacles that accept the tool s
plug, as shown in Fig. 73.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

1.
This tool must be grounded while in use to protect
the operator from electric shock. The motor recommend-
ed for use with your saw is shipped wired for 120 volts
and is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet
which looks like the one illustrated in Fig. 73. The tool is
supplied with a three prong grounding type plug which is
also illustrated in Fig. 73.
2.
If a properly grounded outlet is not available, a temp-
orary adapter, shown in Fig. 74, may be used for con-
necting the 3-prong grounding type plug to a 2-prong
receptacle. The temporary adapter should be used only
until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or
the like extending from the adapter must be connected to
a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet
box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held
in place with a metal screw.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is
not permitted by the Canadian Electric Code.
