ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, 

this saw 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.

Double insulation does not take the 

place of normal safety precautions 

when operating this tool.

To avoid electrocution:

1. Use only identical replacement 

parts when servicing a tool with 

double insulation. Servicing 

should be performed by a 

qualified technician.

2. Do not use power tools in wet or 

damp locations or expose them to 

rain or snow.

MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION

IMPORTANT:

To avoid motor damage, the motor 

should be blown out or vacuumed 

frequently to keep sawdust from 

interfering with the motor ventilation.

1. 

CONNECT this saw to a 120 V, 

15 Amp 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 SAW. Check the saw blade to 

make sure it turns freely. If the blade 

is free, try to start the saw again. If 

the motor still does not start, refer to 

the 

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE.

POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR 

SPECIFICATIONS

The AC motor used in this saw is 

a universal, nonreversible type. 

See “MOTOR” in the “PRODUCT 

SPECIFICATIONS” section on page 3.

To avoid electrical hazards, fire 

hazards, or damage to the tool, use 

proper circuit protection. Your saw 

is wired at the factory for 120 V 

operation. Connect to a 120 V, 

15 Amp 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.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS – 

DOUBLE INSULATED     

The power tool is double insulated to 

provide a double thickness of insulation 

between you and tool’s electrical 

system. All exposed metal parts are 

isolated from the internal metal motor 

components with protecting insulation. 

Replacement parts – When servicing 

use only identical replacement parts.

Polarized plugs – This saw has a plug 

that looks like the one shown below:
