Motor Specifications & Electrical Requirements
Motor Specifications
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 ground-
ing plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in ac-
cordance with all local codes and ordinances. This
saw is wired for operation on 110-120 volts, 60 Hz.
alternating current. Before connecting the motor
cord to power source, make certain the switch is
in the "OFF" position and be sure the electric cur-
rent is of the same characteristics as stamped on
the table saw nameplate.

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 on this page, is
properly grounded; have it checked by a qualified
electrician.
To avoid electric shock, do not
touch the metal prongs on the

plug when installing or removing the plug to or
from the outlet.
Failure to properly ground this
power tool can cause electro-

cution or serious shock, particularly when
used near metal plumbing or other metal ob-
jects. If shocked, your reaction could cause your
hands to hit the tool.
If power cord is worn, cut or
damaged in any way, have it
WARNING
replaced immediately to avoid shock or fire
hazard.
Your unit is for use on 120
volts and is equipped with
a 3-conductor cord and
grounding type plug, ap-
proved by Underwriters
Laboratories and
Canadian Standards Asso-
ciation. The ground con-
ductor 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.
the
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. Do not use any adapter
plugs.
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 re-
placement 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 per-
sonnel if the grounding instructions are not com-
pletely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the
tool is properly grounded.
Extension Cords
Replace damaged cords im-
mediately. Use of damaged
WARNING
cords can shock, burn or electrocute.
Always use proper extension
cord. Use only 3-wire exten-
WARNING
sion cords which have 3-prong grounding type
plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the
tool's plug. If an extension cord is necessary, a
cord with adequate size conductors should be
used to prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of
power or overheating. The table shows the correct
size to use, depending on cord length and name-
plate amperage rating of tool. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gauge. Always use U.L. and CSA
listed extension cords.
