of all moving parts. Keep hands and
fi ngers away form the saw blade.
WHEN MOVING SAW

CAL SHOCK.
CORD CONNECTED TOOLS
. If the saw is equipped
with an approved 3-conductor cord and a 3-prong
grounding type plug, it should only be connected to
a properly equipped and grounded receptacle. The
green conductor in the cord is the grounding wire.
Never connect the green wire to a live terminal.
Use only a 3-wire extension cord having a 3-pronged
receptacle, a 3-pronged plug and ample amperage rat-
ing. Replace or repair a damaged or worn cord im-
mediately.
PERMANENTLY CONNECTED TOOLS.
The saw
should be connected to a grounded, metal-enclosed
wiring system or an equipment-grounding conductor

ed to the saw’s grounding terminal or lead.
To reset the manual starter after a power interruption,
return the switch to OFF and press the RESET button
