SECTION 3: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

110V Operation

Amperage Draw

The Model H3118 is wired to operate at 110V and draws approximately 3.75 amps.

Plug & Outlet Type

The Model H3118 is supplied with a NEMA 5-15 plug. A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlet must be used at all times when operating this saw. Use a GFCI plug adapter between the saw power cord and a properly grounded outlet if the outlet is not equipped with a GFCI. See Figure 1 for a NEMA 5-15 plug and GFCI outlet.

Circuit Breaker Requirements

The relatively small amperage draw from this machine should not cause problems overloading most circuit breakers unless other machines are being used on the same circuit. If other machines are used on the circuit, make sure the combined amperage draw is less than the amperage rating of the circuit breaker.

Your Circuit Capacity

Always check to see if the wires in your circuit are capable of handling the amperage draw from your machine. If you are unsure, consult a quali- fied electrician.

If you operate your machine on any circuit that is already close to its amperage load capacity, it might blow a fuse or trip a circuit breaker. However, if an unusual amperage draw does not exist and a power failure still occurs, contact a qualified electrician or our Service Department.

Serious personal injury could occur if you connect your machine to the power source before you have completed the assembly process. DO NOT connect the machine to the power source until instructed to do so.
