Electrical Connections
Electrical connections must
be made by a qualified electrician in
compliance with all relevant codes. This
machine must be properly grounded to help
prevent electrical shock and possible fatal
injury.
The 64A Tablesaw is equipped with a single
phase, 115/230 volt motor. It is factory wired for
115 volts, but may be converted to 230 volt
operation. Make sure the voltage of your power
supply matches the specifications on the motor
plate of the Tablesaw.
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.
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 damage 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
Figure 1(A). The tool has a grounding plug that
looks like the plug illustrated in (A).
A temporary adapter, which looks like the
adapter illustrated in Figure 1(B&C), may be
used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle
as shown in (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
adaptor is not applicable 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 cord is intended for use on a circuit that has
an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in
Figure 1(D). The tool has a grounding plug that
looks like the plug illustrated in (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.
