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.
A typical residential meter to breaker panel setup will have three main wires: two hot wires (typically black and red) and one neutral wire (usually white). In addition, there may also be a grounding wire (typically bare or green) for safety reasons.
In Bangladesh, the live wire is typically red, brown, or black; the neutral wire is typically blue or black; and the ground wire is typically green or green with a yellow stripe. It is important to consult with a local electrician or electric code regulations for accurate information.
If you are talking about a 4-wire branch circuit you'll need to start with a 220 VAC breaker. It will have two terminals. Connect black and red wires to the two terminals. Doesn't matter in which order you make this connection. The white wire goes to the neutral bus bar where all other white wires are connected. The green or bare wire goes to ground bus where other bare wires are connected.
Australia: ANZS3000 Active= Red or Brown Neutral = Black or Light Blue Earth = Green or Green and Yellow stripe
In the US older 2-conductor house wire has a white-insulated and a black-insulated wire. The white wire is the neutral and the black is the hot wire. Newer house wire has a third bare copper wire to serve as the ground wire. Insulated ground wire has a green jacketing on it. Red wires are for switch legs. You want to be sure that whomever did the wiring didn't flip the colors around. You can do this by checking the fuse or breaker box - the white or neutral wires should all run to the multi-neutral ground bus bar and the black or hot wires should each go to their respective circuit breakers or fuse sockets. On your switches and recepticals, the gold screw is for the black, or hot wire, and the silver screw is for the neutral. The green screw would be for the ground wire. Mostly, use a qualified electrician to do any work unless you are quite handy, have all necessary tools and fully aware of all safety precautions and code requirements that may exist where you live.
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.
To wire a 220 breaker correctly, first turn off the power to the circuit. Connect the red and black wires to the breaker terminals, the white wire to the neutral bar, and the green or bare wire to the ground bar. Make sure all connections are secure and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
To wire a 240-volt breaker correctly, first turn off the power to the circuit. Connect the red and black wires to the breaker terminals, the white wire to the neutral bus bar, and the green or bare wire to the ground bus bar. Make sure all connections are secure and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
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.
Green= Ground Black = live White = Neutral
Red - active, (commonly known as your live cable) Black - Neutral Green - Earth
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.

In Bangladesh, the live wire is typically red, brown, or black; the neutral wire is typically blue or black; and the ground wire is typically green or green with a yellow stripe. It is important to consult with a local electrician or electric code regulations for accurate information.
The standard color coding for electrical wires is green for ground, black for hot, and white for neutral.
im pretty sure you can. black is a neutral and having that green under would be your pop of color.
For 3 phase, L1 is red; L2 is yellow; L3 is green; Neutral is blue; Earth is yellow&green. For single phase, L is red or brown; Neutral is black or blue; Earth is yellow&green.
