EXTENSION
CORDS
Use only 3-wire extension
cords that have 3-prong
grounding
plugs and 3-pole receptacles
that accept
the tool's plug. 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,
resulting
in a loss of
power and causing
the motor to overheat.
Use the
chart provided
below to determine
the minimum
wire
size required
in an extension
cord. Only round jack-
eted cords _isted by Underwdter's
Laboratories (UL_
should
be used.

When working
with the tool outdoors,
use an exten-
sion cord that is designed
for outside use. This is
indicated
by the letters WA on the cord's jacket.
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 position the cord so that it will not be
caught on lumber, tools, or other objects during
cutting operations.
ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION
Your Sears Craftsman Table Saw is powered by a
precision built electric 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 substantial voltage drop will
cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If
the saw does not operate when plugged into an
out_et,double check the power supply.
SPEED AND WIRING
The no-load speed of your table saw is approximately
4,800 rpm. This speed is not constant
and decreases
under a load or with lower voltage.
For voltage, the
wiring in a shop is as important
as the motor's
horse-
power rating. A line intended
only for lights cannot
properly carry a power tool motor. Wire that is heavy
enough for a short distance will be too light for a
greater dist.ance. A line that can support one power
tool may not be able to support two or three tools.
GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of a malfunction
or breakdown,
grounding
provides a path of least resistance
for electric current
to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is
equipped
with an electric cord having an equipment-
grounding
conductor
and 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.
Do not modify the plug provided.
If it will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician,
improper
connection
of the equipment-
grounding
conductor
can result in a risk of electric
shock. The conductor
with insulation
having an outer
sudace that is green with or without yellow stripes is
the equipment-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.
Check with a qualified
electrician
or service personnel
if the grounding
instructions are not completely
understood,
or if in doubt as to whether
the tool is
properly grounded.
Repair or replace a damaged
or worn cord immedi-
ately.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet like the one shown in Figure I. tt also has a
grounding
pin like the one shown.
