cause overheating and motor burn-out. Heavy loads require that
the voltage at motor terminals be no less than the voltage speci-
fied. Power supply to the motor is controlled by a double pole
locking rocker switch. Remove the key to prevent unauthorized
use.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Improper connection of equipment grounding con-
ductor can result in the risk of electrical shock. Equipment should
be grounded while in use to protect operator from electrical
shock.
Check with a qualified electrician if grounding instructions are not
understood or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
This tool is equipped with an approved 3 conductor cord rated at
150V and a three prong grounding type plug for your protection
against shock hazards.
Grounding plug should be plugged directly into a properly
installed and grounded 3-prong grounding-type receptacle, as
shown (Figure 5).
Do not remove or alter grounding prong in any manner. In the
event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path
of least resistance for electrical shock.
WARNING: Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of plug
when installing or removing from outlet.
Plug must be plugged into matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. Do not modify plug provided.If it will not fit in outlet,
have proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Inspect tool cords periodically, and if damaged, have them repaired
by an authorized service facility.
Green (or green and yellow) conductor in cord is the grounding
wire. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is neces-
sary, do not connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live
terminal.
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must be
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle installed
in accordance with National Electric Code and local codes and
ordinances.
WARNING: This work should be performed by a qualified
electrician.
A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter (see Figure 6)
is available for connecting plugs to a two pole outlet if it is proper-
ly grounded.
Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter unless permit-
ted by local and national codes and ordinances. (A 3-prong to
2-prong grounding adapter is not permitted in Canada.) Where
permitted, the rigid green tab or terminal on the side of the
adapter must be securely connected to a permanent electrical
ground such as a properly grounded water pipe, a properly
grounded outlet box or a properly grounded wire system.
Many cover plate screws, water pipes and outlet boxes are not
properly grounded.To ensure proper ground, grounding means
must be tested by a qualified electrician.
EXTENSION CORDS
•The use of any extension cord will cause some drop in voltage
and loss of power.
•Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size to carry
the current and maintain adequate voltage.
•Use the table to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.)
extension cord.
•Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-prong grounding
type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tool plug.
•If the extension cord is worn, cut or damaged in any way,
replace immediately.

INSTALLING AND REMOVING BLADES
Refer to Figures 14, 15 and 16, pages 7 and 8.
WARNING: To avoid injury from accidental starting, always turn
switch OFF and remove power cord plug from electrical outlet
before removing or replacing blade.
•Remove table insert. Release blade tension by pushing
lock/release lever backwards (see Figure 14).
•Carefully remove blade from upper and lower holders.
•Insert new blade into the lower holder first and then into the
upper holder (see Figures 15 and 16).
•Release blade lock/release lever.
•Replace table insert.
FEED RATES
•Feeding at a slower rate produces a better surface finish.
•Do not try to feed workpiece faster than the blade can cut.This
will cause blade breakage.
BLADE SPEEDS
•Most workpieces (hardwood and softwood thicker than 1/4²)
can be cut with speeds of 1000 to 1400 strokes/minute.
•Begin at a slower speed and gradually increase the speed to
the above mentioned range.
•Use slower speeds for thin workpieces, intricate cuts and when
using thin blades.
BLADE SELECTION
•Blades vary depending on type of material, size of workpiece
and type of cut that is being performed.
•Characteristics which make blades different are width, thick-
ness and pitch.
BLADE WIDTH
•Width of blade describes distance from tip of a tooth to back of
blade.
•Width of blade will affect rigidity of blade. A wider blade will
wander less and produce a straighter cut.
•Width of blade also limits the smallest radius which can be cut.
A ¼² wide blade can cut about a ½² radius.
BLADE THICKNESS
•Blade thickness describes the distance between sides of blade.
A thicker blade has more rigidity and stronger teeth.

OPERATION (CONTINUED)
BLADE PITCH
•Pitch describes number of teeth per inch or tooth size. A blade
with more teeth per inch will produce a smoother cut.
•Use a finer (more teeth/inch) blade for thin workpieces and
hard materials.
•Use a coarser (less teeth/inch) blade for thick workpieces and
softer materials.
•There should always be at least two teeth in
contact with workpiece.
•Blade manufacturers are prepared to supply
information about blades for specific applications.
TYPE OF CUT
•Contour cutting is done by guiding workpiece
free-handed to produce curved shapes.
•Beveled cutting can be done by tilting saw arm and using
proper work guide method.
•Regardless of which work guiding method is used, a workpiece
which overhangs table by more than 5² should be properly
supported
CONTOUR SAWING
•When contour sawing, use both hands to keep work-piece flat
against table and guided along desired path.
•Avoid positioning hands in line with blade. If hands slip, they
could contact blade.
•Cut small corners by sawing around them. Saw to remove scrap
until desired shape is obtained.
BEVEL CUTTING
Refer to Figure 12, page 7.
•Perform bevel cutting by tilting head to desired degree.
•Unlock head by loosening locking handle located on the back-
side of the unit.
•Tilt head to desired position.
•Lock head in position by tightening locking handle.
