Do not operate this tool on direct current(DC). A
substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power
and the motor will overheat. If the saw does not
operation when plugged into an outlet, double
check the power supply.
SPEED AND WIRING
The no-load speed of your table saw is
approximately 3600 rpm. This speed is not
constant and decreases under a load or with lower
voltage. For voltage, the wiring in a shop is as
important as the motor’s horse-power rating. A
line intended only for lights cannot properly carry
a power tool motor. Wire that is heavy enough for
a short distance will be too light for a greater
distance. A line that can support one power tool
may be able to support two or three tools.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
1.
All ground, cord-connected tools:
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This tool is equipped with an electric
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor
and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinance.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not
fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.
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 -
grounding 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.
Repair or replace a damaged or worm cord
immediately.
2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended
for use on a supply circuit having a nominal
rating less than 150V:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that
has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated
in Sketch A in
Figure1.2 . The tool has a
grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Sketch A in
Figure 1.2 . A
temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter
illustrated in Sketches B and C, may be used to
connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as
shown in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet
is not available. The temporary adapter should
be used only until a properly grounded outlet
can be installed by a qualified electrician. The
green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like,
extending from the adapter must be connected
to a permanent ground such as a properly
grounded outlet box.
※
Note: In Canada, the use of a temporary
adaptor is not permitted by the
Canadian Electrical Code.
