This tool is intended for indoor use only
MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION
IMPORTANT:
Toavoid motor damage, ihe motor should be blown out or
vacuumed frequently to keep sawdust from interfering with
lhe motor ventilation
1CONNECT this saw to a t20V, 15 amp.. circuit with a 15
amp time delay fuse or circui! breaker, Using the wrong
size &Jsecan damage the me|or
2- if the motor won't start, release the trigger switch
immediately. UNPLUG THE SAW. Ci_eck the saw blade
to make sure it turns freely. Ifthe blade is free, try to
start the saw again., If the motor still does not start, refer
to the "TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
3. IF the tool suddenly stalls while cutting wood, release
the trigger switch, unplug the tool and free the blade
from the wood, The saw may now be started and the cut
finished,
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/slops
in a short time.
b LINE VOLTAGE is more than 10% above or below
the nameplale voltage rating For heavy toads, the
voltage at motor terminals must equal the voltage
specified on the nameplate
c, IMPROPER or dull saw blades are used,
5.Most motor troubles may be lraced to loose or incorrect
connections, overload, low voltage or inadequale power
supply wiring. Always check the connections, the load
and supply circuit if the motor doesn't run well Check
minimum gauge for the length of cord you are using on
the chart below.
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
Use a proper extension cord, Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition When using an extension cord,
be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw An undersized cord wilt cause a drop in
line voltage, resulling in loss of power and cause
overheating The table below shows the correct size to use
depending on cord tength and nameplale ampere rating If
in doubt, use the next heavier gauge The smaller the
gauge number the heavier the cord.
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
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. Tills
circuit must not be less than # t2 wire and should be
protecled with a 15Amp time delay fuse Before
connecting the tool to the power line, make sure the switch
is in the OFF position and the electric current is rated the
same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate,
running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
