8.0 Electrical connections

The PM1000 table saw is rated at 230V power for
single phase, 2 HP, and at 380V power for three
phase 3HPt. The table saw comes with a plug
designed for use on a circuit with a grounded outlet
that looks like the one pictured in A, Figure 13.
Before connecting to power source, be sure switch
is in off position.
It is recommended that the table saw, when
operated at 230V, be connected to a dedicated 30
amp circuit with breaker or time-delay fuse marked
"D". When operated at 380 volts, connect the saw
to a dedicated 20 amp circuit with breaker or time-

8.1 Grounding instructions

1. All Grounded, Cord-connected Tools:
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
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a
matching outlet 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
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
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

tool is properly grounded. Failure to comply
may cause serious or fatal injury.

8.3 Overload reset

It is recommended that the PM1000 Table Saw
be connected to a dedicated 30 amp circuit with
circuit breaker or time delay fuse. Local codes
take precedence over recommendations.
The on/off switch is thermally protected. If the
saw motor is overloaded, or a momentary
interruption of electrical current is sensed, the
saw will shut off.
Allow a few minutes for saw to cool down, then
reset by pushing the off button.
8.4 Operating Controls
