GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS

WARNING: THIS TABLE SAW IS INTENDED FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT EXPOSE IT TO RAIN OR USE IT IN DAMP LOCATIONS.

Make sure the extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one that is heavy enough to carry the current that your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, which will result in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to be used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. When in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Not Recommended

Make 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. This circuit must consist of not less than #12 wire with a 20 A time-delayed fuse or a #14 wire with a 15 A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor 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.

WARNING: THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.
