EXTENSION CORDS

Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong

groundingplugs and 3-pole receptaclesthat accept the tool'splug. When using a power tool at a consid-

erable distance from the power source, use an extension cord heavy enough to carry the current that the tool will draw. An undersized extension cord will

cause a drop in line voltage, resultingin a loss of power and causing the motorto overheat. Use the chart provided below to determine the minimumwire size required in an extension cord. Only roundjack-

eted cords listed by Underwriter'sLaboratories(UL) shouldbe used.

When workingwith the tool outdoors,use an exten- sion cord that is designed for outside use. This is indicated by the letters WA on the cord'sjacket. Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

_k CAUTION: Keep the cord away from the cutting area and positionthe cord so that it will not be

caught on lumber, tools, or other objects dudng cuttingoperations.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Your Sears Craftsman Table Saw is powered by a precision builtelectric motor. It should be connected

to a power supply that Is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantialvoltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the saw does not operate when plugged intoan outlet, double check the power supply.

SPEED AND WIRING

The no-load speed of your table saw is approximately 3,600 rpm. This speed is not constantand decreases under a load or with lowervoltage. For voltage, the wiring in a shop is as importantas the motor'shorse- power rating. A line intended only for lights cannot properlycarry a power tool motor. Wire that is heavy enough for a short distance will be too light for a greater distance. A line that can supportone power tool may not be able to supporttwo or three tools.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

In the event of a malfunctionor breakdown, grounding providesa path of least resistancefor electriccurrent to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is

equipped with an electric cord having an equipment- groundingconductorand a groundingplug. The plug

must be plugged into a matching outletthat is propedy installedand grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Do not modifythe plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installedby a qualified

electrician. Improper connectionof the equipment- groundingconductorcan result in a risk of electric

shook. The conductorwith insulationhaving an outer surface that is green with or without yellowstripes is the equipment-groundingconductor.If repair or replacement of the electdc cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-groundingconductorto

alive terminal.

Check with a qualified electricianor service personnel if the groundinginstructionsare not completely understood,or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properlygrounded.

Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immedi- ately.

This tool is intendedfor use on a circuit that has an

outlet like the one shown in Figure 1. It also has a groundingpin like the one shown.
