INSTALLATION (CONTINUED)
Grounding plug should be plugged directly into a properly
installed and grounded 3- prong grounding-type receptacle, as
shown (Figure 3).
Do not remove or alter grounding prong in any manner. In the
event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path
of least resistance for electrical shock.
WARNING:
Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of plug
when installing or removing from outlet.
Plug must be plugged into matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. Do not modify plug provided. If it will not fit in outlet,
have proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Inspect tool cords periodically, and if damaged, have them repaired
by an authorized service facility.
Green (or green and yellow) conductor in cord is the grounding
wire. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is neces-
sary, do not connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live
terminal.
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must be
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle installed in
accordance with National Electric Code and local codes and
ordinances.
WARNING:
This work should be performed by a qualified electri-
cian.
A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter (see Figure 4)
is available for connecting plugs to a two pole outlet if it is proper-
ly grounded.
Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter unless permit-
ted by local and national codes and ordinances. (A 3-prong to
2-prong grounding adapter is not permitted in Canada.) Where
permitted, the rigid green tab or terminal on the side of the
adapter must be securely connected to a permanent electrical
ground such as a properly grounded water pipe, a properly
grounded outlet box or a properly grounded wire system.
Many cover plate screws, water pipes and outlet boxes are not
properly grounded. To ensure proper ground, grounding means
must be tested by a qualified electrician.
EXTENSION CORDS
•
The use of any extension cord will cause some drop in voltage
and loss of power.
•
Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size to carry
the current and maintain adequate voltage.
•
Use the table to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.)
extension cord..
•
Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-prong grounding
type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tool plug.
•
If the extension cord is worn, cut or damaged in any way,
replace it immediately.

OPERATION
CAUTION:
Always observe the following safety precautions:
•
Make sure that blade guides and thrust bearings are positioned
and adjusted correctly to prevent sideways and rearward
movement of the blade. Adjust upper guide to just clear work-
piece.
•
Check to make sure blade is tensioned and tracking properly.
Do not over tension the blade in order to prevent premature
blade wear and breakage. Avoid under tensioning to eliminate
back and forth, side to side blade movement as it cuts.
