Kawasaki 691204 - Manual (Page 4)

This Cut-off saw is equipped with a grounded 3-wire power cord with a 3-prong
plug. If the power cord will not fit into the wall plug, an approved adapter can be
used as long as it is connected to the center screw in the wall plate. See Figure 1
and the steps below to use an AC grounding adapter:
1. Remove the cover plate mounting screw.
2. Insert the AC grounding adapter into the bottom receptacle so the green
grounding lug fits over the screw hole.
3. Install the mounting screw back into the cover plate securely affixing the
adapter to the receptacle.

If you have questions about connecting the Cut-off saw, contact a certified
electrician to install the proper circuitry needed for this and other power tools
you use. Repair or replace any damaged electrical wiring IIM

Extension cords are not recommended for use with this saw. Extension cords, if
used, must be properly grounded with a 3-prong plug on one and a 3-hole recepta-
cle on the other. D

Extension cords must be UL listed and use a minimum of 18 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 saw 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, melt-
ing, and/or causing fires. See table, “Extension Cord Specifications”, on page 26.
U US SE E R RE EC CO OM MM ME EN ND DE ED D A AC CC CE ES SS SO OR RIIE ES S.. Consult the owners manual for recommend-
ed accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause cause risk of injury.

the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
C CH HE EC CK K D DA AM MA AG GE ED D P PA AR RT TS S.. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving
parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other con-
ditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced.

The electrical power source for this Cut-off saw M MU US ST T be grounded in order to
prevent possible electric shock or even death should the tool malfunction or break
down. Grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current thus reduc-
ing the risk of electrical shock. The power source must also use a minimum 20A
service. Multiple power tools should never be used on the same circuit at the same
time.
