WARNING: To avoid electrical hazards, fire
hazards, or damage to the tool, use proper circuit
protection. Your saw is wired at the factory for 120v
operation, Connect to a 120v, 15-amp, branch
circuit and use a 15-amp time delay fuse or circuit
breaker. To avoid shock or fire, if power cord is
worn or cut, or damaged in any way, have it
:replaced immediately.

DOUBLE INSULATED
The miter saw is double insulated to provide a
double thickness of insulation between you and the
tool's electrical system. All exposed metal parts
are isolated from the internal metal motor compo-
i nents with protective insulation,
Your unit has a plug that looks like the one shown
below
This power tool is equipped with a 2-conductor
cord listed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL). The
plug permits you to use any conventional 120-volt
electrical outlet without necessity for maintaining a
ground connection.
CAUTION: Double insulation does not take the
place of normal safety precautions when operating
this tool.
DANGER: To avoid electrocution:
1. Use only identical replacement parts when
servicing a tool with double insulation. Servicing
should be performed by a qualified service
technician,
2. Do not use in rain or where floor is wet,
This toot is intended for indoor residential use
only.
MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION
CAUTION: Toavoid motor damage, this motor
should be blown out or vacuumed frequently to
keep sawdust from interfering with normal motor
ventilation.
1, Connect this tool to a 120V, 15-amp branch
circuit with a 15-amp time delay fuse or circuit
breaker.Using the wrong size fuse can damage
the motor.
2. If the motor won't start, release the trigger
switch immediately. UNPLUG THE TOOL, Check
the saw blade to make sure it turns freely. If the
blade is free, try to start the motor again. If the
motor still does not start, refer to the "MotOr
Trouble-Shooting Chart."
3, It the motor suddenly stalls while cutting wood,
release the trigger switch, unplug the tool, and
free the blade from the wood, Then you may
restart the motor and finish the cut.
4 Fuses may "blow"or circuit breakers may trip
frequently if:
a, MOTOR IS OVERLOADED-Overloading can
occur if you feed too rapidly or make too
many start/stops in a short time,
b. Voltages not more than 10_ above or below
the nameplate voltage can handle normal
loads. For heavy loads, however, the voltage
at motor terminals must equal the voltage
specified on nameplate
5 Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or
incorrect connections, overload, tow voltage
(such as small size wire in the supply circuit) or
to overly long supply circuit wire, Always check
the connections, the load and the supply circuit
whenever motor doesn't work well. Check wire
sizes and length with the Wire Size Chart below,
WIRE SIZES
The use of any extension coro ¢ilt cause some
toss of power. To keep this to a minimum and to
prevent overheating and motor burn-out, use the
table below to determine the minimum wire size
(A.W.G.) extension cord.
For circuits that are farther than 100 feet away
from electrical service box, the wire size must be
increased proportionately in order to deliver ample
voltage to the saw motor.
