SECTION 3: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
110V Operation
If the machine is not wired correctly a fire could result. Make sure your wiring, recep- tacle, plug, and circuit breaker can handle the amperage draw of the machine. If you are not sure that your electrical circuit can handle the amperage draw, get a qualified electrician to test your electrical system and do any required upgrades. DO NOT attempt to modify an existing circuit by only replacing the circuit breaker with one rated for a higher amperage draw than the wiring, receptacle, and plug are rated for.
The Model H3390 is wired to operate at 110V. A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) must be used at all times when using this saw. If an outlet is not available that is equipped with a GFCI, use a GFCI plug adapter between the saw power cord and a properly grounded outlet. See Figure 1 for a typical 110V plug and GFCI outlet.
Under normal 110V use, the Model H3390 motor draws approximately 15 amps. Use a 20 amp cir- cuit breaker or a 20 amp

The circuit you use should be dedicated, (i.e., the machine should provide the only draw from that circuit). If frequent circuit failures occur when using this machine, contact our Service Department or your local electrical contractor.
