2. The table below shows the correct size to use according
to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge
number the heavier the cord.
3. Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in
good condition. Always replace a damaged extension
cord or have it repaired by a qualified electrician before
using it. Protect your extension cord from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
4. Use a separate electrical circuit for your power tools. This
circuit must not be less than 14 gauge wire and should be
protected with either a 15 A time delayed fuse or circuit
breaker. Before connecting the power tool to the power
source, make sure the switch is in the OFF position
and the power source is the same as indicated on the
nameplate. Running at lower voltage will damage the
motor.

ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION
WARNING
Always disconnect your chop saw from the power source
when replacing the cut off disc, clamping material in the
vise, adjusting the guard, cleaning or when not in use.
Disconnecting the chop saw will prevent accidental starting
that could cause serious personal injury.
SELECT THE WORK SURFACE
It is important to place the chop saw on a solid flat work
surface that will not shift during operation of the chop saw.
Locating the chop saw near an electrical outlet will eliminate
the need for an extension cord.
WARNING
Never place the chop saw near any flammable liquids
or items that can be damaged by the sparks thrown by
the chop saw during cutting. The hot sparks can ignite
flammable liquids.
NOTE: Hot metal sparks and sharp metal pieces will damage
the work surface to some degree. Make sure you consider
this fact when selecting the work surface. A nonflammable
surface such as a metal bench will be less likely to be
damaged during the cutting operation.
