GENERAL ELECTRICAL CAUTIONS
This saw should be grounded in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. This work should
be done by a qualified electrician. The saw should be grounded to
protect the user from electrical shock.
Caution:
For circuits which are far away from the electrical
service box, the wire size must be increased in order to deliver
ample voltage to the motor. To minimize power losses and to
prevent motor overheating and burnout, the use of wire sizes
for branch circuits or electrical extension cords according to the
following table is recommended.
