the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a
live terminal.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-
prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles
that accept the tool's plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord
immediately.

2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for
use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating
less than 150 volts:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has
an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in A,
Figure 19. An adapter, shown in B and C, may
be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in B if a properly grounded
outlet is not available. The temporary adapter
should be used only until a properly grounded
outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.
This adapter is not permitted in Canada. The
green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like,
extending from the adapter must be connected
to a permanent ground such as a properly
grounded outlet box.
3. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for
use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating
between 150 - 250 volts, inclusive:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has
an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in D,
Figure 19. The tool has a grounding plug that
looks like the plug illustrated in D. Make sure the
tool is connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. No adapter is
available or should be used with this tool. If the
tool must be reconnected for use on a different
type of electric circuit, the reconnection should
be made by qualified service personnel; and
after reconnection, the tool should comply with
all local codes and ordinances.

if
the
grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the
tool is properly grounded. Failure to comply
may cause serious or fatal injury.
9.2 Voltage conversion
If 230V single phase operation is desired, follow
these instructions:
1. Disconnect table saw from power source.
2. Open the motor junction box, and consult
the diagram on the inside of the junction box
cover. Similar diagrams are shown in
section 17.0.
NOTE: In case of discrepancy, the junction
box label takes precedence.
3. The four motor leads are connected for
115V operation; reconnect these leads for
230V operation, as shown in the diagrams.
4. The 115 volt attachment plug, supplied with
the saw, must be replaced with a UL/CSA
listed plug suitable for 230 volt operation.
Consult an electrician for proper procedures
to install the plug. The saw must comply with
all local and national codes after the 230 volt
plug is installed.
In all cases (115V or 230V) make certain the
receptacle in question is properly grounded.
If you are not sure, have a registered
electrician check the receptacle.
9.3 Extension cords
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure
your extension cord is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop
in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. Table 1 shows correct size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
