General Electrical Connections; 110-120 Volt, 60 Hz. Tool Information; Motor Safety Protection - RIDGID MS1250 Manual Del Operador

General Electrical Connections

DANGER: To reduce the risk of
electrocution:
1.Use only identical replacement
parts when servicing. Servicing
should be performed by a quali-
fied service technician.
2.Do not use in rain or where
floor is wet.
This tool is intended for indoor
residential use only.

110-120 Volt, 60 Hz. Tool Information

Double Insulated
The miter saw is double insulated to pro-
vide a double thickness of insulation
between you and the tool's electrical sys-
tem. All exposed metal parts are isolated
from the internal metal motor components
with protecting insulation.
Polarized Plug
Your unit has a plug that looks like the one
shown.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this
appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). This plug will fit in
a polarized outlet only one way, if the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper outlet. Do
not change the plug in any way.
WARNING: Double insulation
does not take the place of normal
safety precautions when operat-
ing this tool.

Motor Safety Protection

1. Connect this tool to a 120v, 15-amp
branch circuit with a 15-amp time delay
WARNING Do not permit fingers
to touch the terminals of plug
when installing or removing the
plug to or from the outlet.
If power cord is cut, or damaged in any
way, have it replaced immediately.
fuse or circuit breaker. Using the wrong
size fuse can damage the motor.
1. If the motor won't start, release the trig-
ger 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. If the motor
still does not start, refer to the "Motor
Trouble-Shooting Chart."
2. If the motor suddenly stalls while cut-
ting wood, release the trigger switch,
unplug the tool, and free the blade from
the wood. The motor may now be
restarted and the cut finished.
3. Fuses may "blow" or circuit breakers
may trip frequently if:
a. Motor Is Overloaded-Overloading
can occur if you feed too rapidly or
make too many start/stops in a short
time.
b. Line voltages are more than 10%
above or below the nameplate volt-
age. For heavy loads, however, the
voltage at motor terminals must equal
the voltage specified on nameplate.
c. Improper or dull saw blades are used.
4. Most motor troubles may be traced to
loose or incorrect connections, over-
load, low 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 sup-
ply circuit whenever motor doesn't work
well. Check wire sizes and length with
the Wire Size Chart below.
