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 match-
ing outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance 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 a power source, make certain that
the switch is in the "OFF" position and be sure that
the electric current is of the same characteristics
as that 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 the 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
electrocution or serious shock, particularly
when used near metal plumbing or other metal
objects. 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
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 the Ca-
nadian Standards Associ-
ation. The ground conductor 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.
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 conduc-
tor 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
cords can shock, burn or electrocute.
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 the tool. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. Always use U.L. and CSA
listed extension cords.
