-8- G1023SL/G1023SLX Left-Tilting 10'' Table Saw
SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

220V Single-Phase

The Model G1023SL/G1023SLX Left-Tilting 10"
Table Saw has a 3 HP, 3450 RPM motor which
requires a 220V single-phase circuit. The cord set
included does not have a plug, as the style of plug
you require will depend upon the type of service
you currently have or plan to install. The motor will
safely draw about 18 amps at 220V under load. If
you operate the Model G1023SL/G1023SLX on
any circuit that is already close to its capacity, it
might blow a fuse or trip a circuit breaker.
However, if an unusual load does not exist, and
power failure still occurs, have the circuit inspect-
ed by a qualified electrician.
In preparing to connect the Model
G1023SL/G1023SLX to your existing or new cir-
cuit, connect a plug that matches your 220V
receptacle as long as it is rated to 20 amps or
more. If you will be installing a new receptacle and
plug, we recommend using a NEMA-style 6L-20
plug and outlet shown in Figure 5.
The Model G1023SL/G1023SLX should be fused
at 20 amps. Fusing at amperage ratings higher
than 20 amps will not adequately protect the cir-
cuit. Also be sure that the wiring in your circuit is
rated to handle 20 amps.

Grounding

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides electric current a path of least
resistance to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This tool is equipped with an electric cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor which must
be properly connected to a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that
is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
Improper connections of the electrical-grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The
conductor with green or green and yellow striped
insulation is the electrical-grounding conductor. If
repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug
is necessary, do not connect the equipment
grounding conductor to a live terminal.
This equipment must be
grounded. Verify that any
existing electrical outlet
and circuit you intend to
plug into is actually
grounded. Under no cir-
cumstances should the
grounding pin from any
three-pronged plug be
removed. Serious injury
may occur.
