CONNECTING SAW TO POWER SOURCE
POWER CONNECTIONS
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 charac-
teristics as indicated on the tool. All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will dam-
age the motor.
MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
Your miter saw is wired for 110-120 volt, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the miter saw to the power
source, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position. The motor provides a no-load speed of 5200 RPM.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM
ELECTRIC SHOCK.

2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on
a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than 150
volts: This tool is intended for use on a normal 120-volt
circuit and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Fig. 9.
If a properly grounded outlet is not available, a temporary
adapter, shown in Fig. 10, may be used for connecting the
3-prong grounding type plug to a 2-prong receptacle. The
temporary adapter should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.
The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from
the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground
such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever
the adapter is used, it must be held in place with a metal
screw.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not
permitted by the Canadian Electric Code.
WARNING: IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THE
RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS PROPERLY
GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE HAVE A CERTI-
FIED ELECTRICIAN CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.
1. All grounded, cord-connected tools: 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. This tool is equipped with an electric cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a ground-
ing 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 con-
ductor 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 con-
ductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug
is necessary, do not connect the equipment grounding
conductor to a live terminal.
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.
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. 9.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
