an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged 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.

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. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3 pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

2.Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating between 150 – 250 volts, inclusive:

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Figure 4. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure 4. Make sure the tool is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter is available or should be used with this tool. If the tool must be reconnected for use on a different type of electric circuit, the reconnection should be made by qualified service personnel; and after reconnection, the tool should comply with all local codes and ordinances.

Make sure the voltage of your power supply matches the specifications on the motor plate of the Band Saw.

on the machine’s motor plate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

Use Table 1 as a general guide in choosing the correct size cord. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.

Cross point (Phillips) screwdriver Hex keys, 4mm/5mm/6mm 13mm wrench

Straight edge and gauge

8.1Fence assembly

Refer to Figure 5.

Place fence body onto guide tube (as shown in Figure 9). Raise fence lever all the way up to install or remove fence from guide rail. Midway lever position allows fence to slide along guide rail. Lowest lever position locks fence in place.

7.7Extension Cords

The use of extension cords is discouraged; try to position machines within reach of power source. If an extension cord becomes necessary, make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed

Figure 5

8.2Fence plate

Refer to Figures 6 and 7.

Loosen lock bar (A) using knobs (B). Pull out on lock bar until it protrudes enough on which to slide the aluminum fence plate from one end, as shown in Figure 6. Retighten knobs.
