3. The 115V attachment plug (shown in Figure 6) supplied with the sander, must be replaced with a
UL/CSA listed plug suitable for 230V operation (shown in Figure 7). Contact your local authorized
Walter Meier (Manufacturing) Inc., service center or qualified electrician for proper procedures to
install the plug. The sander must comply with all local and national codes after the 230 volt plug is
installed.
4. The band saw with a 230 volt plug should only be connected to an outlet having the same
configuration (see Figure 7). No adapter is available or should be used with the 230 volt plug.
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 JSG-6DC Belt/Disc Sander, when operated at
230 volt
, be connected to a
grounded and dedicated, minimum 15 amp circuit with a 15 amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse.
Local
codes take precedence over recommendations.

Extension Cords
If an extension cord is necessary, make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on the
machine’s motor plate. An undersize cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating.
Use the chart in Figure 7 as a general guide in choosing the correct size extension cord for the Bandsaw.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
