EXTENSION CORDS
Use only3-wire extensioncords that have 3-prong
groundingplugsand 3-pole receptaclesthat accept
thetool's plug.When usinga powertool at a consid-
erable distancefromthe power source, use an
extensioncord heavy enoughto carrythe current that
thetool will draw.An undersizedextensioncordwill
cause a drop in linevoltage, resultingin a loss of
powerand causingthe motorto overheat. Use the
chart providedbelow to determinethe minimumwire
size requiredin an extensioncord. Only roundjack-
eted cordslisted by Underwriter'sLaboratories(UL)
shouldbe used.
Length of Extension Cord Wire Size (A.W.G.)
Up to 25 feet 14
26-100 feet 12
When workingwith the tool outdoors,use an exten-
sioncord that is designedfor outsideuse. This is
indicatedby the lettersWA on the cord's jacket.
Beforeusing an extensioncord, inspect itfor loose or
exposedwires and cut or worninsulation.
_k CAUTION: Keep the cord away from the cutting
area and positionthe cordso that it will not be
caughton lumber, tools,or otherobjectsdudng
cuttingoperations.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
YourSears Craftsman Table Saw is powered bya
precisionbuiltelectric motor. Itshouldbe connected
to a power supply that Is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only
(normal household current). Do not operate thistool
ondirect current (DC). A substantialvoltagedrop will
causea lossofpower and the motorwill overheat. If
the saw does not operatewhen plugged intoan
outlet,double checkthe power supply.
SPEED AND WIRING
The no-loadspeed of your table saw is approximately
3,600 rpm.This speed isnot constantand decreases
undera load or with lowervoltage. For voltage, the
wiringin a shopis as importantas the motor'shorse-
powerrating. A line intendedonlyfor lightscannot
properlycarry a powertoolmotor. Wire that is heavy
enoughfor a shortdistance willbe too lightfor a
greaterdistance. A line thatcan supportone power
tool may not be able to supporttwo or three tools.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event ofa malfunctionor breakdown, grounding
providesa path ofleast resistancefor electriccurrent
to reducethe riskofelectricshock. Thistool is
equippedwith an electriccordhaving an equipment-
groundingconductorand a groundingplug. The plug
mustbe pluggedintoa matchingoutletthat ispropedy
installedand grounded in accordancewith all local
codes and ordinances.
Do not modifythe plug provided.If itwillnot fit the
outlet,have the proper outletinstalledby a qualified
electrician.Improperconnectionofthe equipment-
groundingconductorcan resultin a riskof electric
shook.The conductorwith insulationhaving an outer
surfacethat is green withor withoutyellowstripesis
the equipment-groundingconductor. If repairor
replacementof the electdc cord or plug isnecessary,
do not connect the equipment-groundingconductorto
a liveterminal.
Check witha qualifiedelectricianor service personnel
ifthe groundinginstructionsare notcompletely
understood,or if indoubt as to whether thetoolis
properlygrounded.
Repair or replacea damaged or worncord immedi-
ately.
This toolis intendedfor use on a circuitthathas an
