Electrocution or a fire can result if the bandsaw is not grounded cor- rectly. Make sure all electrical circuits are grounded. DO NOT use the machine if it is not grounded.
In the event of an electrical short, grounding pro- vides electric current a path of least resistance to reduce the risk of electrical shock to the opera- tor. Ground the power cord and this machine in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Operating this machine when it is not properly grounded can result in electric shock or electro- cution.
The Model G0524 can be rewired for 440V 3- phase operation. This rewiring job consists of disconnecting the rip saw from the power source, changing the connections on the voltage trans- former, changing the overload relays for the motors, and rewiring the motors.
The necessary overload relays for this procedure can be purchased in the Model G0524 440V Conversion Kit (P/N P0524067) by calling our customer service number at (800)
This procedure takes moderate electrical skill and the rewiring job must be inspected by a licensed electrician before the saw is connected to the power source.
To rewire the Model G0524 to 440V
1.Disconnect the rip saw from the power source!
2.Open the electrical box.
3.Remove the wire labeled “R” at the 220V ter- minal of the power transformer and connect it to the 440V terminal (Figure 2).
