Amperage Draw
The Model H3118 is wired to operate at 110V and
draws approximately 3.75 amps.
Plug & Outlet Type
The Model H3118 is supplied with a NEMA 5-15
plug. A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
outlet must be used at all times when operating
this saw. Use a GFCI plug adapter between the
saw power cord and a properly grounded outlet if
the outlet is not equipped with a GFCI. See
Figure 1 for a NEMA 5-15 plug and GFCI outlet.
Circuit Breaker Requirements
The relatively small amperage draw from this
machine should not cause problems overloading
most circuit breakers unless other machines are
being used on the same circuit. If other machines
are used on the circuit, make sure the combined
amperage draw is less than the amperage rating
of the circuit breaker.
Your Circuit Capacity
Always check to see if the wires in your circuit are
capable of handling the amperage draw from
your machine. If you are unsure, consult a quali-
fied electrician.
If you operate your machine on any circuit that is
already close to its amperage load capacity, it
might blow a fuse or trip a circuit breaker.
However, if an unusual amperage draw does not
exist and a power failure still occurs, contact a
qualified electrician or our Service Department.
Serious personal injury could occur if you
connect your machine to the power source
before you have completed the assembly
process. DO NOT connect the machine to
the power source until instructed to do so.
