•
Use only 3-wire extension cords with 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept
saw’s plug.
•
Do not use a damaged or worn cord.
•
Match size of cord to length needed. An undersized
cord will cause drop in line voltage, resulting in
loss of power and overheating.
Grounded Connection
The Compact Table Saw is intended for use on a
110-120 V supply circuit with a grounded outlet (A)
designed for a plug with a ground pin (B).
A temporary adapter may be used to connect this plug
to a 2-pole receptacle as shown below, 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. This
adapter is not permitted in Canada. 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.

CTS-230A50I (Australia)
The Australian version of the saw is intended for use
on a 230 V supply circuit with an outlet and connection
that looks like the following example.
RCD or GFCI
If working in a damp environment or if cutting metals
it’s important to connect the saw to an RCD (residual
current device), also known as a GFCI (ground fault
circuit interrupter), as shown generically in the
following image.
