Powermatic 64B operating instructions Voltage conversion, Extension cords

If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment- grounding conductor to a live terminal.

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 less than 150 volts:

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in A, Figure

19.An adapter, shown in B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. This adapter is not permitted in Canada. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.

3.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 D, Figure

19.The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in D. 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.

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. Failure to comply may cause serious or fatal injury.

9.2Voltage conversion

If 230V single phase operation is desired, follow these instructions:

1.Disconnect table saw from power source.

2.Open the motor junction box, and consult the diagram on the inside of the junction box cover. Similar diagrams are shown in section 17.0.

NOTE: In case of discrepancy, the junction box label takes precedence.

3.The four motor leads are connected for 115V operation; reconnect these leads for 230V operation, as shown in the diagrams.

4.The 115 volt attachment plug, supplied with the saw, must be replaced with a UL/CSA listed plug suitable for 230 volt operation. Consult an electrician for proper procedures to install the plug. The saw must comply with all local and national codes after the 230 volt plug is installed.

In all cases (115V or 230V) make certain the receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a registered electrician check the receptacle.

9.3Extension cords

USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
