Default Table saw wired for 220 but using a standard 3 prong plug

Ah- but I didn't say I had not fired it up.


Any thoughts? I have not turned it on yet.


Sorry, sure sounded that way ...

plug it into a regular outlet and turn it on, or if I need to try and
wire it for 110. Smoke? Fire? Running at half-speed? Fry a circuit?
Trip the breaker? Nothing?


If the saw is wired for 220 and you plug it into a 110 circuit that is
_properly_ wired, more than likely it just won't run at all and there should
be no damage.

The other way around and you'll likely let all the smoke out.
