GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is
equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green
with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole
receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one
illustrated in Figure 1. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus-
trated in Figure 1. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in
Figure 1, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Figure
1 if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be
used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be
connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.

EXTENSION CORD USAGE

Extension cords are not recommended for use with this Cut-off Saw. Extension
cords, if used, must be properly grounded with a 3-prong plug on one and a 3-hole
receptacle on the other. DO NOT use grounding adapters with an extension cord.
Extension cords must be UL listed and use a minimum of 16 A.W.G. wiring.
Extension cords should never exceed 25 feet in length. Extension cords, that are too
long, cause a voltage drop over the extra distance causing the motor to run slower
with the possibility of causing damage to the motor. Using extension cords with
smaller than the recommended wire gauge run the risk of getting too hot, melting,
and/or causing fires. See table, "Extension Cord Specifications", on page 25.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND/OR SYMBOLS

IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES FOR CUT-OFF SAWS

Avoid prolonged contact with dust created by the Cut-off Saw. Allowing the
dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on your skin promotes the absorption
of harmful chemicals into your body.
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed in
this manual may result in property damage, damage to the tool, or serious per-
sonal injury or even death.
Unpack the Cut-off Saw completely from its carton. Inspect the saw and
accessories and ensure they are free from defects or breakage due to shipping.
