GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

In the event of an electrical malfunction or short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock to the oper-
ator. The motor of the “M2” model of this machine is
wired for 230V single phase operation. As with many
stationary industrial type machines, because each
installation situation is unique, this table saw is supplied
without a power cord or plug. The installation of an

appropriate power cord and plug must be performed
by a qualified electrician. The machine must be con-
nected to an electrical source using a power cord that
has a grounding wire, which must also be properly con-
nected to the grounding prong on the plug. The outlet
must be properly installed and grounded and all elec-
trical connections must be made in accordance with
all local codes and regulations.

CIRCUIT CAPACITY

Make sure that the wires in your circuit are capable of
handling the amperage draw from your machine, as
well as any other machines that could be operating on
the same circuit. If you are unsure, consult a qualified
electrician. If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows
regularly, your machine may be operating on a circuit
that is close to its amperage draw capacity. However, if
an unusual amperage draw does not exist and a
power failure still occurs, contact a qualified technician
or our service department.

EXTENSION CORDS

The use of an extension cord is not generally recom-
mended for 230V equipment. If you find it necessary,
use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plug and a matching 3-pole receptacle that
accepts the tool’s plug. Repair or replace a damaged
extension cord or plug immediately.

If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with
your machine make sure the cord rating is suitable for
the amperage listed on the motor I.D. plate. An under-
sized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. The accompanying
chart shows the correct size extension cord to be used
based on cord length and motor I.D. plate amp rating.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
number, the heavier the gauge.

NOTE: VOLTAGE REQUIREMENTS AND AMPERAGE DRAW FOR M3, M4, M5, M6, M25, M35, M45, M55 and M65 MOTORS
MAY NOT BE FULLY DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL. FOR COMPLETE ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS REFER TO THE MOTOR
I.D. NAME PLATE ON THE MACHINE. IF IN DOUBT CONSULT A LICENSED QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN BEFORE PROCEED-
ING.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

BEFORE CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SOURCE, VERIFY THAT THE VOLTAGE OF YOUR POWER SUPPLY CORRESPONDS
WITH THE VOLTAGE SPECIFIED ON THE MOTOR I.D. NAMEPLATE. A POWER SOURCE WITH GREATER VOLTAGE THAN NEEDED CAN
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE USER AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE. IF IN DOUBT, CONTACT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
BEFORE CONNECTING TO THE POWER SOURCE.

THIS TOOL IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR USE IN WET OR DAMP LOCATIONS.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Both a manual circuit breaker (or similar device) as well
as an electrical plug are recommended and

should

be installed by a qualified electrician

. Use locally

approved wire that includes a separate grounding wire
and a 3 prong grounding type plug

with a matching

receptacle

NOTE: To limit the potential for damage in transport, this
saw is shipped from the factory with the switch facing
inward

. Before operating, the switch must be reinstalled

facing outward
