The blade teeth should always point downward at the front of the saw. eMake sure the blade is sharp, undamaged and properly aligned. With the saw unplugged, push the power-head all the way down, Hand spin the blade and check for clearance. Tilt the power-head to 45 degree bevel and repeat the check, if the blade hits anything, make the adjustments shown in the Maintaining Maximum Cutting Capacity section, eMake sure the blade and arbor collars are clean. • Make sure the collars' recessed sides are facing toward the blade. eMake sure the recessed side of the blade washer (just under the arbor screw head) faces the collar. eUsing 1/2-inch box end wrench, make sure the arbor cap screw retaining the blade collars is firmly hand tightened. eMake sure all clamps and locks are tight and there is no excessive play in any parts. • Never cut FREEHAND: a.

Do not use in rain or where floor is wet, This toot is intended for indoor residential only. MOTOR SAFETY CAUTION: To avoid use PROTECTION 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.

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 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 place of normal this tool.

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.
