ELECTRICAL
WARNING:
Improper installation of the grounding plug can result in a
risk of electric shock. When repair or replacement of the
cord is required, do not connect the grounding wire to
either flat blade termincal. The wire with insulation hav-
ing an outer surface that is green with or without yellow
stripes is the grounding wire.
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 product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has
a grounding plug similar to the plug illustrated in figure 3.
Only connect the product to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. Do not use an adapter with this
product. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection
should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used
for this product. Outlets are available having built-in GFCI
protection and may be used for this measure of safety.
If the product is used with an extension cord, ensure the
connection of the product’s power cord and the extension
cord are not on the ground.
If a protected outlet is not available, do not use the product
until an outlet can be changed or auxiliary protection can be
obtained. These auxiliary protection devices are available at
your local retailer.
POSITION OF THE FAN
See Figures 1 - 2.
To avoid the possibility of the tool plug or outlet getting wet,
position fan to one side of a wall-mounted outlet to prevent
water from dripping onto the outlet or plug. The operator
should arrange a “drip loop” in the cord connecting the saw
to the outlet. The “drip loop” is that part of the cord below
the level of the outlet, or the connector if an extension cord
is used, to prevent water traveling along the cord and com-
ing in contact with the outlet.
If the plug or outlet does get wet, DO NOT unplug the cord.
Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power
to the tool then unplug and examine for the presence of
water in the outlet.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections
dry and off the ground. Do not touch the plug with wet
hands.
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.

**Used on 12 gauge - 20 amp circuit.
NOTE:
AWG = American Wire Gauge
Always use an extension cord that is designed for outside
use. This is indicated by the letters “W-A” or “W” on the
cord’s jacket.
Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or ex-
posed wires and cut or worn insulation.
WARNING:
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged
replace immediately. Never use the product with a dam-
aged cord since touching the damaged area could cause
electrical shock resulting in serious injury.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This product is powered by a precision-built electric motor. It
should be connected to a power supply that is
120 V, AC only
(normal household current), 60 Hz.
Do not operate this
product on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop
will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If
the product does not operate when plugged into an outlet,
double check the power supply.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
See Figure 3.
This product must be grounded. In the event of a malfunc-
tion or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This product 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.
