G0588/G0591 12" Sliding Table Saws
In the event of an electrical short, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock. The ground
-
ing wire in the cord must be properly connected
to the grounding prong on the plug; likewise, the
outlet must be properly installed and grounded.
All electrical connections must be made in accor
-
dance with local codes and ordinances.
Improper connections of the electrical-grounding
conductor increases the risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or one of our
service personnel if you do not understand
the grounding instructions, or if you doubt the
machine is properly grounded.

When using a phase converter, the power from
the manufactured power leg (sometimes called
the wild wire) can fluctuate. Connect the manufac
-
tured power leg to the S terminal to prevent dam
-
age to the electrical controls. The wire from the S
terminal can handle some fluctuation because it
goes directly to the motor. The power going to the
R and T terminals goes to the electrical controls
and must be consistent to prevent damage. See
the instruction manual included with the phase
converter for more information.
