Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire extension cord which
has a 3-prong grounding type plug and a 3-hole receptacle which will accept the tool’s plug. When using an extension
cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the tool. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Fig. DD, shows the correct gauge to use depending on the cord
length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

UNPACKING AND CLEANING
Your Sliding Compound Miter Saw is shipped in one carton. Carefully remove the machine and all loose items from the
shipping container. Remove the protective coating from all unpainted parts. This coating may be removed with a soft
cloth moistened with kerosene (do not use acetone, gasoline, or lacquer thinner for this purpose). After cleaning, cover
the unpainted surfaces with a good quality household floor paste wax. Figs. 2 and 3 illustrate the slide saw models
removed from the shipping carton. Fig. 4 illustrates the loose items supplied with your machine. IMPORTANT: Do not
remove the cable tie (A) Figs. 2 and 3 that is holding the cuttinghead in the down position until the machine is placed
on a workbench or the stand model has been set in an upright position.
