10-Inch Compound Miter Saw Operator's Manual 7
POLARIZED PLUGS
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment 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.
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 overheating. Table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
DOUBLE INSULATION SYSTEM ENHANCES SAFE OPERATION
To enhance safe operation of this electric power tool, JOHN DEERE has adopted a double insulation system. The
term "double insulation" used here denotes an insulation systems with two insulations physically separated and
arranged between the electrically conductive material connected to the power supply and outer frame subject to
contact by the operator.
Thus, the power tool is termed double insulated and both the mark and " " double insulation", or either one is
indicated on the name plate.
While no external grounding is required with this system, normal safety precautions as outlined in this manual must
still be followed.
To maintain the effectiveness of the double insulation system, follow the precautions described below:
1. Always contact your John Deere Dealer when assembling, disassembling or replacing parts other than
accessories or carbon brushes. Improper assembly and/or replacement with wrong parts may result in
eliminating the double insulation-feature.
2. Clean the exterior of the tool with a soft cloth moistened with soapy water, and dry thoroughly. Choleric
solvent, gasoline, and thinner will cause plastic components to dissolve.
WARNING: AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. NEVER USE THIS TOOL
WITH A DAMAGED OR FRAYED ELECTRICAL CORD OR
EXTENSION CORD. INSPECT ALL ELECTRICAL CORDS
REGULARLY. NEVER USE IN OR NEAR WATER OR IN ANY
ENVIRONMENT WHERE ELECTRIC SHOCK IS POSSIBLE.
