When using an extension cord, be 
sure to use one heavy enough to carry 
the current your product will draw. An 
undersized cord will cause a drop in line 
voltage resulting in loss of power and 
overheating. The following table shows 
the correct size to use depending on 
cord length and nameplate ampere 
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier 
gauge. The smaller the gauge number, 
the heavier the cord.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
 
Before attempting any of the following operations, make sure the saw blade has 
stopped, and the battery is removed or the cord is unplugged. Used saw blades can be hot.
