Accessories
If an extension cord is
necessary, a cord with
adequate size conductors that is capable
of carrying the current necessary for your
tool must be used.
This will prevent
excessive voltage drop, loss of power or
overheating. Grounded tools must use 3-wire
extension cords that have 3-prong plugs and
receptacles.
NOTE:
The smaller the gauge number, the
heav i er the cord.

WARNING
CARE OF BLADES
Blades become dull even from cutting regular
lumber. If you find yourself forcing the saw
forward to cut instead of just guid ing it through
the cut, chances are the blade is dull or coated
with wood pitch.
When cleaning gum and wood pitch from
blade, unplug the saw and remove the blade.
Remember, blades are designed to cut, so
handle carefully. Wipe the blade with kerosene
or similar sol vent to remove the gum and pitch.
Unless you are experienced in sharpening
blades, we recommend you do not try.
