The 4 prong plug is for 2 live wires, a neutral and a case ground. If you
choose to obtain a socket to match the plug on the saw you will use the two
live wires and the case ground. The wiring in the 4 prong plug if wired
correctly should contain one red wire as a live wire, one black wire as the
other live wire (220 volts across them), a white wire as the neutral (Not
needed in your application) and a bare copper as the case ground. Wire them
to the new socket according to the instructions that usually comes with new
sockets and you'll be in business.

FWIW ... "message threading" comes fairly close to guaranteeing that those
you're attempting to help will get the benefit of your wisdom. Starting a
new thread, just the opposite.

LOL, and apparently I cannot chose the right advice, or is that advise. :~)
I'll blame it on OE.

That's OK .... there needs to be some input in the archives to prove that
the bell curve extends to the left, as well as the right.

I have found that responding to or giving Don Dando any advise falls on deaf
ears.
