Electrical Connection

Your Miter Saw is powered by a Black & Decker built motor. Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate marking. 120 Volts, 60 Hz or “AC only" means your tool must be operated only with alternating current and NEVER with direct current. A voltage decrease of more than 10% will cause loss of power

and overheating. All B&D tools are fac tory tested; if this tool does not operate, check the power supply.

Double-Insulation

Your tool is double insulated to give you added safety. This means that it is constructed throughout wtih TWO separate “layers” of electrical insulation

or one DOUBLE thickness of insulation between you and the toot’s electrical system.

Tools built with this improved insula tion system are not intended to be grounded. As a result, your tool is

equipped with a two-prong plug which permits you to use any conventional 120 volt electrical outlet without concern for maintaining a ground connection.

NOTE: Double-Insulation does not

take the place of normal safety precau tions when operating this tool. The improved insulation system is for added protection against injury resulting from a possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.

CAUTION; When servicing Double-Insulated Tools, USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS. Replace or repair damaged cords.

This tool Is intended for residen

tial use only.

Extension Cords

When using the tool at a considera ble distance from the power source, an extension cord of adequate size must be used for safety, and to prevent loss of power and overheating. Use the table below to determine minimum wire size required.

Before using cords, inspect them for loose or exposed wires and damaged

insulation. Make any needed repairs or replacement before using your power tool.
