Grounding Instructions
This tool must be grounded
while in use to protect the operator from
electric shock.
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
three wire extension cords that have three-prong
grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles that
accept the tool’s plug.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord
immediately.
115 Volt Operation
Your table saw is set at the factory to run at 115-
volt operation. When wired for 115 volt, this
table saw is intended for use on a circuit that
has an outlet and a plug that looks like the one
illustrated in (A). A temporary adapter, which
looks like the adapter as illustrated in (B), may
be used to connect this plug to a two-pole
receptacle, as shown in (B) if a properly
grounded outlet is not available. The temporary
adapter should only be used until a properly
grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified
electrician. This adapter is not applicable in
Canada. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or
tab, extending from the adapter, must be
connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box, as shown in (B).
230 Volt Operation
If 230V, single-phase operation is desired, the
following instructions must be followed:
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
source.
2. Turn the handwheel until the saw blade is in
the 45° position. This will allow easy access
to the motor junction box.
3. This table saw is supplied with four motor
leads that are connected for 115V operation,
as shown in Figure A. Reconnect these four
motor leads for 230V operation, as shown in
Figure B.
4. The 115V attachment plug (A), supplied with
the table saw, must be replaced with a
UL/CSA listed plug suitable for 230V
operation (D). Contact your local Authorized
JET Service Center or qualified electrician
for proper procedures to install the plug.
The table saw must comply with all local and
national codes after the 230-volt plug is
installed.
5. The table saw with a 230-volt plug should
only be connected to an outlet having the
same configuration (D). No adapter is
available or should be used with the 230-volt
plug.
Important: In all cases (115 or 230 volts), make
certain the receptacle in question is properly
grounded. If you are not sure, have a registered
electrician check the receptacle.
