SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
110V Operation
The 1 H.P. motor supplied with the G5045, draws
approximately 13 amps @ 110V. We recommend
a dedicated 15-amp breaker. This should be sat-
isfactory for normal use, while providing enough
protection against motor damage caused by
power surges or overload.
The G5045 is shipped complete with a grounded
110V cordset and plug. If you require the use of
an extension cord while operating this table saw,
use a properly grounded cord that's constructed
to U.L. standards. Use the chart included in the
Safety Section to determine what gauge cord is
necessary for safe operation. Underpowering
your saw by using an inadequate or damaged
cord can result in damage to the Model G5045.
Always inspect your cord and cord ends for dam-
age or wear prior to using them.
If frequent circuit failures occur when using the
table saw, contact our service department or your
local electrical contractor. Be sure that your par-
ticular electrical configuration complies with local
and state codes. The best way to ensure compli-
ance is to check with your local municipality or
licensed electrician.

Grounding
In the event of an electrical short, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance to disperse electric cur-
rent. This tool is equipped with a power cord hav-
ing an equipment-grounding conductor. See
Figure 1. The outlet must be properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
This equipment must be grounded. If it is
not, it will be necessary to run a separate 12
A.W.G. copper grounding wire from the out-
let to a known ground. Under no circum-
stances should the grounding pin from any
three-pronged plug be removed. Serious
injury may occur.
