Power Connection
Before connecting the saw to power, read through Section 2: Power supply, beginning on Page 12, to check that your setup follows the safety and circuit requirements for your model.
When installing the power cord, it is MANDATORY to make sure the cord is adequately secured to the junction box with a strain relief, so it will not be pulled loose if tripped over or caught on a moving object. The strain relief firmly attaches to the junc- tion box and clamps against the cord when tight- ened. Also, it is important to firmly tighten terminal screws, so wires cannot come loose from any operational vibrations that may occur over time.
If the cord or wires are pulled loose, the wires can cause a short, which may lead to fire, shock, or machine damage.
Make sure power cord is not connected to power when wiring it to the junction box. Connect machine first, then con- nect wires to the plug!
To connect the saw to the power supply:
1.Open the junction box shown in Figure 31.

2.Loosen the strain relief and slide the power cord through it and into the junction box.
Model G0700 (Mfg. since 8/09)
3.Attach the hot wires to the terminals across from the wires marked "S" and "R" (see Figure 32), and attach the ground wire to the terminal across from the green wire tagged with the ground symbol. Make sure the termi- nal screws are firmly tightened so the wires will not pull out.

S (White/Red)
R (Black)

supply wires inside junction box.
4.Make sure the wires have adequate slack between the strain relief and the terminals, then tighten the strain relief against the power cord
5.Test the strain relief by pulling on the cord from outside the box, using moderate force. When properly secured, the cord will remain in place and not slide in the strain relief.
6.Replace the power box cover.
7.Connect the required plug to the other end of the power cord, using the wiring instructions provided by the plug manufacturer.
If the wiring instructions are not provided with the plug, refer to the wiring diagram in this manual. The plug wiring shown in the diagram is drawn from NEMA standards for the plug type shown. If your plug does not match the one shown in the wiring diagram in this manual, please contact technical support before proceeding any further.
8.Clear away any tools used during the assem- bly process, and press the STOP button on the magnetic switch to ensure that the ON button is not engaged.
9.Plug the machine into the power source and proceed to the following Test Run section to verify that the saw operates correctly and is ready for cutting operations.
