EXTENSION CORDS
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-pole
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. 10, shows the correct gage to use
depending on the cord length. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier
the cord.
FASTENING MACHINE TO SUPPORTING SURFACE
Before operating your compound miter box, make sure it
is firmly mounted to a workbench or other supporting
surface. Four holes are provided, two of which are shown
at (A) Fig. 9, for fastening the saw to a supporting sur-
face.
When frequently moving the saw from place to place,
we suggest that the saw be mounted to a 3/4" piece of
plywood. The saw can then be easily moved from place
to place and the plywood clamped to the supporting
surface using“C” clamps.
