Do 4 hp motors require a different switch? * And/or does a 4 hp motor
require a different breaker. *We have a 20 amp breaker.

Otherwise, I think we wired the switch wrong.

There is no LVC box on this saw. *The wiring from breaker to socket

Any comments are welcome.

See if this helps:

Thanks Karl. I glanced at that earlier. today. Those wiring diagrams
were Greek to me.

Too late, now, to mess with that, anyway. I've been invited to go eat
and watch the baseball game.
