YOUR SAW IS WIRED AT THE FACTORY FOR 120V OPERATION. CONNECT TO A 120V, 15-AMP, BRANCH CIRCUIT AND USE A 15-AMP FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER. TO AVOID SHOCK OR FIRE, IF POWER CORD tS WORN OR CUT, OR DAMAGED IN ANY WAY, HAVE IT REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED THIS POWER TOOL CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK PARTICULARLY WHEN USED IN DAMP LOCATIONS CLOSE TO PLUMBING. IF AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK OCCURS THERE IS ALSO THE POTENTIAL OF A SECONDARY HAZARD SUCH AS YOUR HANDS CONTACTING THE SAWBLADE. NOT ALL OUTLETS ARE PROPERLY GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE THAT YOUR OUTLET IS PROPERLY GROUNDED, HAVE IT CHECKED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. Your unit has a plug that looks like the one shown below 3-PRONG GROUNDED OUTLET PROPERLY PLUG _ GROUNDING PRONG This power tool is equipped with a 3*conductor cord and ground type plug listed by Underwriters' Laboratories, The ground conductor has a green jacket and is attached to the tool housing at one end and to the ground prong in the attachment plug at the other end This plug requires a mating 3-conductor type outlet as shown above, grounded WARNING: TO MAINTAIN PROPER TOOL GROUNDING WHENEVER THE OUTLET YOU ARE PLANNING TO USE FOR THIS POWER TOOL IS OFTHE TWO PRONG TYPE, DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER THE GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MANNER= It is recommended that you have a qualified electri-clan replace the two prong outlet with a properly grounded three prong outlet. MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION CAUTION: To avoid motor damage this motor should be blown out or vacuumed frequently to keep sawdust from interfering with normal motor ventilation. 1 This tool should be connected to a 120V, t5 amp branch circuit with a 15 amp fuse or circuit breaker Failure to use the proper size fuse can result in damage to the motor 2 If the motor fails to start, turn the power switch to the "OFF" position 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 If the motor suddenly stafls while cutting wood, turn the power switch off, unplug the tool, and free the blade from the wood The motor may now be restarted and the cut finished , Frequent "blowing" of fuses or tripping breakers may result if: or circuit a MOTOR IS OVERLOADED - Overloading occur if you feed too rapidly can b LOW VOLTAGE - Although the motor is designed for operation on the voltage and frequency specified on the motor nameplate, normal loads will be handled safely on voltages not more than 10% above or below the nameplate voltage Heavy loads, however, require that voltage at motor terminals equals the voltage specified on nameplate 5 Mostmotor troublesmaybetracedto looseor incorrectconnections,overload,reducedinput vottage(suchas smallsize wire in the supply circuit) or to overly long supply circuit wire Alwayscheckthe connections,the loadandthe supplycircuit whenevermotorfails to perform satisfactorily_Checkwire size and lengthwith the WireSizeChartbelow WIRE SIZES The use of any extension cord will cause some loss 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. Use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accepts the tools ptug CAUTION: For circuits that are farther away from electrical service box, the wire size must be increased proportionately in order to deliver ample voltage to the saw motor.

Hold the workpiece firmly against the table Use gentle pressure, and do not force the work, but allow the blade to cut. 3 The smallest diameter that can be cut out is determined by the width of the blade For example, a 1/4-inch wide blade will cut a minimum diameter of approximately 1-1/2-inch (see chart) SAWDUST 2 1/2"D CIRCLE DIM BLADE SiZE COLLECTION 1 There is an opening provided in the rear of the bottom cover to attach a 2-1/2.inch hose from a wet/dry vac to control sawdust L CT,O 26 INSTALLING SANDING ATTACHMENT i_ UPPER NOTE: The sanding beit cuts very rapidly Practice with some scraps of wood first before you attempt to sand your actual workpiece BEARING BACKUP SETSCREW 1 To install the sanding belt and sanding platen, remove the front table, front cover, blade guard, and the blade 2 Use a 1/8-inch hex "L" wrench and remove the upper and lower right blade guides The mounting screw used for the upper blade guide will be used to hold the sanding platen in place 3 Loosen the setscrews that hold the upper and lower backup bearings in place and push the bearings all the way back Tighten setscrews so bearings will remain 4 Slide the sanding platen into the blade slot in the table and fasten to the upper biade guide assembly where the right blade guide mounts It may be necessary to loosen the left blade guide and slide it backwards until platen is in place \ 5.
