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 10. 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 10
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 10. A
temporary adapter, like the adapter in Figure 11,
may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole
receptacle, as shown in Figure 11, 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 11.

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 12. Reconnect these four motor leads
for 230V operation, as shown in Figure 12.
