WARNING
To maintain proper tool grounding, if
outlet you are planning to use for this
power tool is a 2-prong type do not
remove or alter grounding prong in any
manner.
An adapter is available for connecting the
plug to 2-prong receptacles. The green
grounding lead or grounding lug extending
from the adapter must be connected to a per-
manent ground such as to a properly
grounded outlet box.
Extension Cords
Note:
Make sure the proper extension cord is used
and is in good condition.
The use of any extension cord will cause some
loss of power. Determine the minimum wire
size (American Wire Gauge No. (AWG #))
extensioncordpertable.Useonly3-wireexten-
sion cords with 3-prong grounding type plug
and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tool's
plug.
Motor Protection & Reset Button
The motor protector opens the circuit and
stops the motor when the motor temperature
exceeds a safe level, the motor is over-
loaded, or a low voltage condition exists.
When the protector activates, immediately
turn saw off, remove yellow key and wait for
motor to cool. Push red re-set button and lis-
ten/feel for click to indicate protector is re-set.
If you do not hear/feel a click, motor is still too
hot. Wait a while longer and repeat. (It may
take over one hour for the motor to cool suffi-
ciently for protector to reset.)
Note:
The adapter illustrated is for use only if you
already have a properly grounded 2-prong receptacle.
Note:
In Canada the use of a temporary adapter is
not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.
Note:
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the
cord. For circuits farther away from the electrical circuit
box, wire size must be increased proportionately to
deliver ample voltage to the motor
