INSTALLATION (CONTINUED)
Check with a qualified electrician if grounding instructions are not
understood or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded.
This tool is equipped with an approved 3 conductor cord rated at
300V and a three prong grounding type plug for your protection
against shock hazards.
Grounding plug should be plugged directly into a properly
installed and grounded 3- prong grounding-type receptacle, as
shown (Figure 3).

Do not remove or alter grounding prong in any manner. In the
event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path
of least resistance for electrical shock.
WARNING:
Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of plug
when installing or removing from outlet.
Plug must be plugged into matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. Do not modify plug provided. If it will not fit in outlet,
have proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Inspect tool cords periodically, and if damaged, have them repaired
by an authorized service facility.
Green (or green and yellow) conductor in cord is the grounding
wire. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is neces-
sary, do not connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live
terminal.
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must be
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle installed in
accordance with National Electric Code and local codes and
ordinances.
WARNING:
This work should be performed by a qualified
electrician.
A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter (see Figure 4)
is available for connecting plugs to a two pole outlet if it is
properly grounded.

Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter unless permit-
ted by local and national codes and ordinances. (A 3-prong to 2-
prong grounding adapter is not permitted in Canada.) Where per-
mitted, the rigid green tab or terminal on the side of the adapter
must be securely connected to a permanent electrical ground such
as a properly grounded water pipe, a properly grounded outlet
box or a properly grounded wire system.
Many cover plate screws, water pipes and outlet boxes are not
properly grounded. To ensure proper ground, grounding means
must be tested by a qualified electrician.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING:
All electrical connections must be performed by a
qualified electrician. Make sure unit is off and disconnected from
power source while motor is mounted, connected, reconnected or
anytime wiring is inspected.
• Band saw motor can be wired for 115 or 230 volts, single-phase
operations.
• See wiring diagram (Figure 5) for wiring instructions.

EXTENSION CORDS

• The use of any extension cord will cause some drop in voltage
and loss of power.
• Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size to carry
the current and maintain adequate voltage.
• Use the table to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.)
extension cord.
• Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-prong grounding
type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tool plug.
• If the extension cord is worn, cut or damaged in any way,
replace it immediately.
