That's not quite complete; you MUST connect the ground wire to the
box with the on/off switch, and the frame of the motor, and you
can then (if you want) bond the motor or switch to the tablesaw
top and/or frame.


Ok. Thank you.
Switch, Motor
Switch. Motor.
Switch. Motor


In _very_ high likelihood those bondings are already done w/ the
mounting but never hurts to check or run a separate. Logically, while
you're at it you would run 3-wire from the switch to the motor at the
same time you're doing the rest and tie the grounds together.
