Grounding Instructions

This Band Saw must be

grounded while in use to protect the operator

from electric shock.

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,

grounding provides a path of least resistance for

electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.

This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an

equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding

plug that looks similar to the plug in Figure 20. The

plug must be inserted into a matching outlet that is

properly installed and grounded in accordance with

all local codes and ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the

outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified

electrician.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding

conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The

conductor, with insulation having an outer surface

that is green with or without yellow stripes, is the

equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or

replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary,

do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor

to a live terminal.

Figure 20

Check with a qualified electrician or service

personnel if the grounding instructions are not

completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether

the tool is properly grounded.

Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord

immediately.

115 Volt Operation

As received from the factory, your bandsaw is ready

to run at 115-volt operation. This bandsaw, when

wired for 115 volts, is intended for use on a circuit

that has an outlet and a plug that looks like the one

illustrated in Figure 20. A temporary adapter, like the

adapter in Figure 21, may be used to connect this

plug to a two-pole receptacle, as shown in Figure

21, if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The

temporary adapter should only be used until a

properly grounded outlet can be installed by a

qualified electrician. This adapter is not applicable in

Canada. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or tab,

extending from the adapter, must be connected to a

permanent ground such as a properly grounded

outlet box, as shown in Figure 21.

230 Volt Conversion

If 230V, single-phase operation is desired, the

following instructions must be followed:

Disconnect machine from power source.

This band saw is supplied with four motor leads that

are connected for 115V operation, as shown in

Figure 22. Reconnect these four motor leads for

230V operation, as shown in Figure 22.
