The saw has a plug that has two flat terminals not parallal. Is this a

Might be. Might not be. You didn't provide enough information to tell.

There's a NEMA plug and receptacle configuration chart at

which should enable you to tell what you have.

It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again.


The best way to tell is by looking at the plate on the motor. Though,
the plug may or not be the correct plug for the type of power required
and could have worked for a variety of reasons, including the fact that
someone took an inappropriate plug and receptacle and jerry rigged the
wiring to make it all work.

Be careful
