Just ordered one. Reading through the owners manual I was struck by the
electrical diagrams calling for 10Ga wire and a 30Amp (220V) circuit for
the
3hp 1phase motor. Years ago (in anticipation of ordering the saw) I
installed a 20A 220V line to my saw -- it was my understanding that a 20A
220V circuit was plenty of power for a 3HP motor. Is the 30A designation
in
the manual just a typo ?

I'm surprised at the recommendation. Dedicated 20 amp service should be
fine. I bet the cord on the saw is smaller than 10Ga. !
