Operations; Section 13 Maintenance - Steel City 35600 User Manual

CAUTION
!
• A separate electrical circuit should be used for your
table saw. The circuit should not be less than #14
AWG wire and should be protected with a 15-amp
time lag fuse.
• Have a qualified electrician repair or replace damaged
or worn cord immediately.
• Before connecting the motor to the power line, make
certain the switch is in the "OFF" position and be
sure that the electric current is of the same rating as
the motor nameplate. All line connections should
make good contact.
• Running on low voltage or long, underrated extension
cords will damage the motor.
WARNING
!
• DO NOT expose the table saw to rain or operate the
in damp locations.
• MAKE SURE all parts have been assembled correct-
ly and are in working order.
• KEEP table surface clear of tools and debris before
starting table saw.
