POWER SUPPLY REQUIREM ENTS
To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards or damage to
the
table saw, use proper circuit protection. Always
use
a
separate electrical circuit for your tools. This power tool
is
wired
at the
factory'for
12.0Y
operation. Connect
it
to
a
120V,
15
Amp circuit and use
a
15
Amp time
delay
fuse
or circuit breaker. To avoid shock
or
fire, replace the
cord
immediately
if
it
is
worn, cut or damaged in
any way.
EXTENSION GORD REQUIREMENTS
Any extension
cord must
be GROUNDED
for safe
operation.

GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
Any extension cord used for power tools MUST
be
grounded
(3-wire
with two
flat prongs and one
round
ground
prong).
Make
sure
the extension cord is in good condition. When
using
an
extension cord, make sure you use one
heavy
enough
to carry the current the tool will draw.
An
undersized
cord
willcause
a
drop in
line
voltage
resulting
in
loss
of
power
and overheating. The table above
shows
the
correct size to use according to extension cord
length
and nameplate ampere rating.
lf in doubt,
use
the next
heavier gauge
cord.
The smaller the gauge number
the
heavier
the
cord.
NOTE:
f
he
12
to
16
Amp rating
is
correct for this tool.
lt
is
highlighted
in the
table
above.
Be sure your
extension cord is
properly
wired and
in good
condition. Always replace
a
damaged extension cord
or
have
it
repaired
by a
qualified person before using
it.
Protect
your extension cords from sharp
objects,
excessive
heat and
damp
or
wet
areas.
Before
connecting the saw to the extension cord,
make
sure
the
saw
switch
is
turned
OFF.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
IN
THE EVENT
OF
A MALFUNCTION
OR
BREAKDOWN, grounding provides
a path
of
least
resistance for electric current and reduces the
risk
of
electric shock. This saw
is
equipped with
an
electric
cord
that has
an
equipment grounding conductor
and
a
grounding plug. The plug MUST
be
plugged
into
a
matching receptacle that
is
properly installed
and
grounded
in
accordance with ALL
local
codes
and
ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. lf
it
will
not
fit
the receptacle, have the proper receptacle
installed by
a
qualified electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment
grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock.
The
conductor (wire) with the green insulation
(with or
without
yellow stripes)
is
the equipment grounding conductor.
lf
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
you do
not
completely understand the
grounding
instructions, or
if
you are not sure the saw
is properly
grounded.
Use
only
3-wire extension cords that have
3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole grounding receptacles
that
accept the saw's
plug.
Repair or replace
damaged
or
worn cords
immediately.
