ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY
POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION!
To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards or damage to the table
saw, use proper circuit protection. Always use a separate
electrical circuit for your tools. This power tool is wired at the
factory for 120V operation. Connect it to a 120V, 15 Amp
circuit and use a 15 Amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. To
avoid shock or fire, replace the cord immediately if it is worn,
cut or damaged in any way.
EXTENSION CORD REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION!
Any extension cord must be GROUNDED for safe
operation.

GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
Any extension cord used for power tools MUST be grounded
(3-wire with two flat prongs and one round ground prong).
Make sure the extension cord is in good condition. When using
an extension cord, make sure you use one heavy enough to
carry the current the tool will draw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. The table above shows the correct size to use
according to extension cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge cord. The smaller
the gauge number the heavier the cord.
NOTE: The 12 to 16 Amp rating is correct for this tool. It is
highlighted in the table above.
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good
condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it
repaired by a qualified person before using it. Protect your
extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or
wet areas.
Before connecting the saw to the extension cord, make sure the
saw switch is turned OFF.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current
and reduces the risk of electric shock. This saw is equipped
with an electric cord that has equipment grounding conductor
and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a
matching receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit
the receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a
qualified electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor
(wire) with the green insulation (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 you
do not completely understand the grounding instructions, or if
you are not sure the saw is properly grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding
plugs and 3-pole grounding receptacles that accept the saw’s
plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn cords immediately.
