13

The 115V attachment plug supplied with the

band saw must be replaced with a UL/CSA

listed plug suitable for 230V operation, as shown

in Figure 13. Contact your local authorized

Walter Meier (Manufacturing) Inc., service

center or qualified electrician for proper

procedures to install the plug. The band saw

must comply with all local and national codes

after the 230-volt plug is installed.

The band saw with a 230-volt plug should only

be connected to an outlet having the same

configuration (Figure 13). No adapter is

available or should be used with the 230-volt

plug.

Figure 13

IMPORTANT: In all cases (115 or 230 volts),

make certain the receptacle in question is

properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a

registered electrician check the receptacle.

It is recommended that the JWBS-14OS Band

Saw be connected to a dedicated, minimum 15

amp circuit with a 15 amp circuit breaker or time

delay fuse. Local codes take precedence over

recommendations.

Extension Cords

Use only three wire extension cords that have

three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole

receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.

Make sure the cord is in good condition, and

heavy enough to carry the current your band

saw will draw. An undersized cord will cause a

drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power

and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size

to use depending on cord length and the ampere

rating on your machine’s nameplate. If in doubt,

use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the

gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord

immediately.
