Grounding Instructions
1. All Grounded, Cord-connected Tools:
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current 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 modify the plug provided - if it will not fit
the 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 is green with or
without yellow stripes is the equipment-
grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of
the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a
live terminal.
Check with a qualified
electrician or service personnel if the
grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the
tool is properly grounded. Failure to comply
may cause serious injury or death!
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-
prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles
that accept the tool's plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord
immediately.
2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for
use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating
less than 150 volts:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has
an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in
Sketch A. B and C, may be used to connect this
plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Sketch
B if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until
a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician. (This adapter is not
permitted in Canada) The green-colored rigid
ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter
must be connected to a permanent ground such
as a properly grounded outlet box.
3. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for
use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating
between 150 - 250 volts, inclusive:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that
has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in
Sketch D. The tool has a grounding plug that
looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch D. Make
sure the tool is connected to an outlet having the
same configuration as the plug. No adapter is
available or should be used with this tool. If the
tool must be reconnected for use on a different
type of electric circuit, the reconnection should
be made by qualified service personnel; and
after reconnection, the tool should comply with
all local codes and ordinances.

Electrical Connections
The JWTS-10 table saw is rated at 115/230V
and comes from the factory prewired at 115V.
The table saw comes with a plug designed for
use on a circuit with a grounded outlet that looks
like the one pictured in A.
To switch the motor for 230V operation, follow
the wiring diagram found on the inside cover of
the motor junction box. The plug on the end of
the motor cord will have to be replaced with a
plug that is rated 230V.
Before hooking up to the power source, be sure
the switch is in the off position.
