Sounds as though your saw is a 220 volt saw. If so then yes if you run a 2 conductor BX cable you will employ the black and white conductors in the cable as the two "hot" conductors. So just wire black to black, and red to white. However, you should be running a 3 conductor cable to provide a ground to your saw.

Why is the ground wire hot at all outlet boxes on a particular circuit?

Most likely the ground (green) wire is mistakenly connected to hot instead of the hot wire (black) at the breaker panel! Possibly you meant the neutral wire not the ground wire, in that case most likely the neutral (white) wire is mistakenly connected to hot instead of the hot wire (black) at the breaker panel! In either case check all three wires in the breaker panel for that circuit to make sure they are all correctly connected! Black is hot, White is neutral, Green (or uninsulated in some cases) is ground.


How to wire an appliance that has black white red and green wires?

It is most likely that the appliance is 220-240 Volts. Check the rating plate. If so you need to connect to that type of service and to a breaker that will handle the load. The 220-240 Volts is connected between Red and Black, White is neutral and provides 110-120 Volts between it and Red or Black. The Green is the ground.


How do you wire a 4800 watt heater that's 240 volts?

This will pull 20 Amps continuous so you will need a 30 A breaker and 10 AWG wire. You would have Black, Red, White and Ground. The 240 V would be on the black and red connected to the output from a two pole 240 A breaker. White would be neutral and green or bare wire would be ground.

What to do with the white wire in track light with black green and white wires if the house does not have a white one?

The white is neutral. The house does have a neutral wire even though it may be black. One of those black wires is the neutral and the other is the hot wire. You will have to determine which is hot and which is neutral. You can easily do this with a voltage tester. The wire that lights the tester is the hot. When you wire the light simply wire the hot to hot, and the white and green to the other wire.
