Connection To A Power Source; Extension Cords - Skil SS9503-00 Manual Del Propietário

Think safety: Safety is a combination of operator common sense and alertness at all times
when the saw is being used. Do not allow familiarity (gained from frequent use of your scroll
saw) to become commonplace. Always remember that a careless fraction of a second is
sufficient to inflict severe injury.

Connection to a Power Source

This machine must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.
Plug power cord into a 110-120V properly grounded type outlet protected by a 15-amp dual
element time delay fuse or circuit breaker.
Not all outlets are properly grounded. If you are not sure that your outlet, as pictured, is
properly grounded; have it checked by a qualified electrician.

metal objects. If shocked, your reaction could cause your hands to hit the tool.
WARNING
have it replaced immediately to avoid shock
or fire hazard.
Your unit is for use on 120 volts; it has a plug
that looks like the one in the picture.
This power tool is equipped with a 3-conductor
cord and grounding type plug, approved by
Underwriters Laboratories and the Canadian
Standards Association. The ground conductor
has a green jacket and is attached to the tool
housing at one end and to the ground prong in
the attachment plug at the other end.
If the outlet you are planning to use for this
power tool is of the two-prong type, DO
NOT REMOVE OR ALTER THE GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MANNER. Have a qualified
electrician replace the TWO-prong outlet with a properly grounded THREE-prong outlet.
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 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.
