ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS & GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In order to prevent potential electrical shock and injury, the following electrical safety precautions and symbols should be
followed at all times!
WARNING
In case of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of
electric shock. This tool 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 connections of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The equipment-
grounding conductor is the insulated conductor that has an outer surface that is green, with or without yellow stripes. If
repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a
live terminal

Check 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 plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug

Repair a damaged or worn cord immediately
WARNING
This tool is intended for the use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one shown in Image A of Figure 1. The tool
has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in IMAGE A if FIGURE 1. A temporary adapter, which looks like
the adapter illustrated in images B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Image B, if a
properly grounded outlet is not available.

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,
and the like, extending from the adapter, must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.
NOTE : use of a temporary adapter is not permitted in Canada.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground.
A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the saw. Recepta-
cles are available having built-in GFCI protections and may be used for this measure of safety.
WARNING
Use of extension cords result in low voltage to the more that can result in motor burnout and premature failure. ToolCo warns
that equipment returned to us showing signs of being run in a low voltage condition, through the use of undersized extension
cords will be repaired or replaced totally at the customers expense. There will be NO warranty claim.
To Choose the proper extension cord - Locate the length of extension cord needed in Table 1 below.
As an example, a fifty (50) foot extension cord would require an AWG size of 12.
