EXTENSION CORDS

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong ground-
ing plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug. 
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from the 
power source, use an extension cord heavy enough to carry 
the current that the tool will draw. An undersized extension 
cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of 
power  and  causing  the  motor  to  overheat.  Use  the  chart 
provided below to determine the minimum wire size required 
in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by 
Underwriter's Laboratories (UL) should be used.

**Ampere rating  (on tool faceplate)

  100'         16          16          14         12         10        —

**Used on 12 gauge - 20 amp circuit.

NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge

When working with the tool outdoors, use an extension cord 
that is designed for outside use. This is indicated by the let-
ters "WA" on the cord's jacket.
Before  using  an  extension  cord,  inspect  it  for  loose  or 
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

WARNING

:

Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. Po-
sition the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, 
tools or other obstructions while you are working with a 
power tool. Failure to do so can result in serious personal 
injury.

WARNING

:

Check extension cords before each use. If damaged re-
place immediately. Never use tool with a damaged cord 
since touching the damaged area could cause electrical 
shock resulting in serious injury.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

This tool is powered by a precision built electric motor. It 
should be connected to a 

power supply that is 120 volts, 

60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate 
this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop 
will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the 
saw does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double 
check the power supply.

SPEED AND WIRING

The  no-load  speed  of  this  tool  is  approximately  3,000 
FPM.  This  speed  is  not  constant  and  decreases  under 
a  load  or  with  lower  voltage.  For  voltage,  the  wiring  in  a 
shop is as important as the motor’s horsepower rating. A 
line intended only for lights cannot properly carry a power 
tool motor. Wire that is heavy enough for a short distance 
will  be  too  light  for  a  greater  distance.  A  line  that  can
support  one  power  tool  may  not  be  able  to  support  two 
or three tools.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

In  the  event  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 conduc-
tor 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 connection of the equipment-grounding conductor 
can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with 
insulation having an outer surface that is green with or with-
out yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If 
repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is neces-
sary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor 
to a live terminal.
Check with a 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.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet 
like the one shown in figure 1. It also has a grounding pin 
like the one shown.
