EXTENSION CORDS
Use oniy3-wirs extensioncords t_et have 3-prong ground-
ingplugsand 3-polereceptaclesthatacceptthetool'splug.
Whenusinga powertoolat a considerabledistancefromthe
powersource,usean extensioncordheavy enoughto carry
the current that thetoolwill draw.An undersizedextension
cord will causea drop in line voltage,resulting in e lossof
power and causingthe motor to overheat. Use the chart
providedbelow to determine the minimum wiresizerequired
in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by
Underwriters Laboratories(UL)should be used.

When workingwith the too] outdoors, use an extension
cord that isdesignedfor outside use.Thisisindicated by
the letters "WA"on the cord'sjacket.
Before using an extensionoord, inspectitfor loose or
exposed wiresand cut or worn insulation.
WARNING: Keep the extensioncord deer of the
workingarcs. Position the cordso thatit willnot get
caughton lumber,toolsor otherobstructionswhile
you areworkingwi.itna powertoot. Failureto doso

Thistoo[ ispowered by a precisionbuiltelectricrootor.
It shouldbe connected to a power supply t_at is 120
volts, 60 Hz, A¢ only (normal household currentJ.Do
not operatethis toot on directcurrent(DC).A substantial
voltagedrop willcausea loss of powerand the motor will
overheat, fftha saw does not operatewhen pluggedinto
an outlet, doublecheckthe powersupply.
SPEED AND WIRING
The no-load speed of this tool is approximately 4,800 rpm.
