Thanks for the comments! There is so much good info here. Tomorrow I will take a snapshot of and post pics of my service panel and my wiring.

OK - now I am starting to use my new toy! I do have 2 issues, though that I need to ask about.

1. When ripping a board, as I am pushing the piece that is between the fence and the blade with a push stick - just after the wood clears the fence, the board pitches to the left (into the blade) which ...

OK - got it fixed...figured it out...

Does anyone know how to change that so you can see it?
