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 carrythe 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 listed by Underwriter's Laboratories (UL)
should be used.
Length of Extension Cord
Upto25 feet
Wire Size (A.W.G.)
14
26-100feet 12
When workingwith the tool outdoors, use an exten-
sion cord that is designed for outside use. This is
indicated by the letters WA on the cord'sjacket.
Before using an extension cord, inspect itfor loose or
exposed wires and cut orworn insulation.
,_ CAUTION: Keepthecordawayfromthecutting
area and position the cordso that itwill not be
caught on lumber, tools,orotherobjecteduring
cuttingoperations.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Your Sears Craftsman Table Saw is powered by a
precision built electric motor. Itshould be connected
to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only
(normal household current). It should be connected
to a 240 volt power supply only if it has been reset
according to the instructions in this manual. The
motor has been set at the factory for 120 volts; ifit is
reconnected to operate at 240 volts, all attachment
plugs and any receptacles must be replaced with
devices rated for 240 volts. 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
outlet, double check the power supply.
SPEED AND WIRING
The no-load speed of your table saw is approximately
3,600 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 distance. A linethat can support one power
tool may not be able to support two or three tools.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Intheevent of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electriccurrent
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 modifythe plug provided. Ifitwillnotfitthe
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
surface that isgreen with or without yellow stripes is
the equipment-grounding conductor. Ifrepairor
replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary,
do notconnect the equipment-grounding conductor to
a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel
ifthe grounding instructions are notcompletely
understood, or if indoubt 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 1. It also has a
grounding pin like the one shown.
WARNING: Instructionsare given in the
Assemblysection forchanging the motorvoltage
to 240 volts. Follow them carefully ... Electrical
shock can kill.
