ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
POWER SUPPLY
WARNING:
YOUR PLUNGE CUT TRACK SAW MUST BE CONNECTED
TO A 120V, 15-AMP. BRANCH CIRCUIT. FAILURE TO CONNECT IN THIS
WAY CAN RESULT IN INJURY FROM SHOCK OR FIRE.
WARNING
: The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this
instruction manual can’t cover all possible conditions and situations that may
occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and
caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be
supplied by the operator.
120V OPERATION
As received from the factory, your Plunge Cut Track Saw is ready to run for
120V operation. This Plunge Cut Track Saw is intended for use on a circuit
that has an outlet and a plug which looks like the one illustrated in Fig.1.
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized two-prong 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 into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not alter
or change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for
three wire grounded power supply and grounded power cords.
EXTENSION CORDS
Improper use of extension cords may cause inefficient operation of your tool
which can result in overheating. Be sure your extension cord is rated to
allow sufficient current flow to the motor. If you are using the tool outdoors,
use an extension cord rated for outdoor use (signified by “WA” on the
jacket).
The extension cord must have a minimum wire size depending on the
amperage of the tool (12 Amps.) and the length of the extension cord. This
size is determined by its AWG (American Wire Gauge) rating. The smaller
the gauge, the greater the cable’s capacity.
The amount of cords used does not matter: Total length determines the
minimum AWG rating. Every cord must meet the AWG rating. Use the chart
shown in Fig.2 to determine what AWG rating is required for your situation.
Cord length is rated in feet.
