P O W E R C O N N E C T I O N S
A separate electrical circuit should be used for your tools. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and
should be protected with a 20 Amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension
cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tool s plug.
Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF position and be sure
that the electric current is of the same characteristics as indicated on the tool. All line connections should
make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the motor.
M O TO R SPECIFICATIONS
Your saw is wired for 110-120 volts, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the saw to the power
source, make sure the switch is in the OFF position. The motor provides a no-load speed of 3600 RPM.

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet
and a plug that looks like the one shown in Fig. 13. A
temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated
in Fig. 14, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole
receptacle, as shown in Fig. 14, if a properly grounded
outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be
used only until a properly grounded outlet can be in-
s
talled by a qualified electrician. THIS ADAPTER IS
N O T APPLICABLE IN C A N A D A.
The green-colored
rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter
must be connected to a permanent ground, such as a
properly grounded outlet box, as shown in Fig. 14.
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. The motor 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.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conduc-
tor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with
insulation having an outer surface that is green with or
without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conduc-
tor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is
necessary, do not connect the equipment grounding con-
ductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if
the grounding instructions are not completely under-
stood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding type plugs and 3-hole receptacles that accept
the tool s plug, as shown in Fig. 13.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
