Had a electrician come last week who was recommended to wire up my new shop as well as my new PM66 5hp. From the #s on the saw he said a 30amp breaker would do just fine. I found the manual so he could see it and he pointed out that the manual suggested a 40amp breaker and 10g wire. He said you can't do a 40amp breaker with 10g wire, has to be 8g and had no idea why the manual would have it as 10/40 instead of 8/40.
He thinks 10g 30amp will be fine, but figured I would ask what you guys did on yours before it is done. Should be calling me this week or next to setup a time to do all this.
Thanks
