ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY

 

DOUBLE INSULATED   

 

The power tool is double insulated to provide a double 
thickness of insulation between you and tool’s electrical 
system. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the 
internal metal motor components with protecting 
insulation.  
 

Replacement parts – 

When servicing use only identical 

replacement parts. 
 

Polarized plugs – 

This saw has a plug that looks like 

the one shown below: 

                       

 

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this saw has a 
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This 
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug 
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still 
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the 
proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.                

 
 
Double insulation does not take the place of normal 
safety precautions when operating this tool. 
To avoid electrocution: 
1. Use only identical replacement parts when servicing a   
tool with double insulation. Servicing should be 
performed by a qualified technician. 
2. Do not use power tools in wet or damp locations or   
expose them to rain or snow. 
 

MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION 

IMPORTANT: 

To avoid motor damage, the motor should be blown out 
or vacuumed frequently to keep sawdust from interfering 
with the motor ventilation. 
1. 

CONNECT

 this saw to a 120V, 15 amp. circuit with a 

15 amp. time delay fuse or circuit breaker. Using the 
wrong size fuse can damage the motor. 

2. 

If

 the motor won’t start, release the trigger switch 

immediately. 

UNPLUG THE SAW. 

Check the saw 

blade to make sure it turns freely. If the blade is free, 
try to start the saw again. If the motor still does not 
start, refer to the 

“TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

” 

3. 

If

 the tool suddenly stalls while cutting wood, release 

the trigger switch, unplug the tool, and free the blade 
from the wood. The saw may now be started and the 
cut finished. 

 
 

 
4. 

FUSES

 may “blow” or circuit breakers may trip 

frequently if: 

a. MOTOR is overloaded – overloading can occur if     

    you feed too rapidly or make too many start/stops     
    in a short time. 

b. LINE VOLTAGE is more than 10% above or below                 
    the nameplate voltage rating. For heavy loads, the 

voltage at motor terminals must equal the voltage 
specified on the nameplate. 

c. IMPROPER or dull saw blades are used. 

5. Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or 

incorrect connections, overload, low voltage or 
inadequate power supply wiring. Always check the 
connections, the load and supply circuit if the motor 
doesn’t run well. Check minimum gauge for the length 
of cord you are using on the chart below. 

 

GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS 
Use a proper extension cord.

 Make sure your 

extension cord is in good condition. When using an 
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to 
carry the current your product will draw.    An undersized 
cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of 
power and cause overheating. The table below shows 
the correct size to use depending on cord length and 
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next 
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the 
heavier the cord. 

 
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired

 and in 

good condition. Always replace a damaged extension 
cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before 
using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, 
excessive heat and damp or wet areas. 

 
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. 

This 

circuit must not be less than # 12 wire and should be 
protected with a 15 Amp time delay fuse. Before 
connecting the tool to the power line, make sure the 
switch is in the OFF position and the electric current is 
rated the same as the current stamped on the motor 
nameplate, running at a lower voltage will damage the 
motor. 

MINIMUM GAUGE FOR EXTENSION CORDS (AWG)

(When using 120 volts only) 

Ampere     Rating 

Total length of cord in feet 

more than    not more than

CAUTION:

 In all cases make certain the receptacle 

in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure 

have a certified electrician, check the receptacle.
