Extension Cords

This tool is double-insulated and therefore does not have

a grounding wire or plug. The two-pronged, NEMA 1-15

plug has a polarized end; this means that one prong

(the neutral connector) is wider than the other (the

hot connector). Polarized plugs must be used only with

polarized receptacles. Do not attempt to plug this tool

into a non-polarized receptacle. If a polarized receptacle

is not available, a qualified electrical technician will have

to install one before the saw can be plugged in.

When using extension cords, make sure the cords are

rated for outdoor use. Outdoor use cords are marked with

a "W-A" or a "W" to signify their rating. Always check to

make sure that the extension cords are in good working

order and free of any type of damage, such as exposed

wires, cuts, creased bends, or missing prongs.

Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may damage

electrical components and shorten motor life. Voltage

drop increases as the extension cord size gets longer

and the gauge size gets smaller (higher gauge numbers

indicate smaller sizes. When using extension cords, always

choose the shortest cord possible, with the greatest-sized

gauge.

Below is a list of minimum gauge sizes needed for running

a 7-10 Amp tool at different lengths:

25 Feet .................................................. 16 AWG

50 Feet .................................................. 16 AWG

100 Feet ................................................ 14 AWG

This tool is equipped with a power cord that has an

equipment-grounding wire and NEMA 1-15 grounding plug.

The plug must only be inserted into a matching receptacle

(see Figure) that is properly installed and grounded in

accordance with local codes and ordinances.
