Phase Converter
When using a phase converter, the power from the manufactured power leg (sometimes called the wild wire) can fluctuate. Connect the manu- factured power leg to the S terminal to prevent damage to the transformer. The wire from the S terminal can handle some fluctuation because it goes directly to the motor. The power going to the R and T terminals goes to the transformer and must be consistent to prevent damage. See the phase converter instruction manual for more information.
Grounding
In the event of an electrical short, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with a power cord that has a grounding wire, which must be properly connected to the grounding prong on the plug; likewise, the outlet must be properly installed and grounded. All elec- trical connections must be made in accordance with local codes and ordinances.
Improper connections of the
Electrocution or fire could result if this machine is not grounded correctly or if your electrical con- figuration does not com- ply with local and state codes. Ensure compliance by checking with a quali- fied electrician!
Rewiring to 440V
The Model G0451 can be rewired for 440V opera- tion. This rewiring job consists of disconnecting the saw from the power source, changing the connections on the voltage transformer, chang- ing the overload relays for the scoring motor, and rewiring the cutting motor and scoring motor.
The necessary overload relay for this procedure can be purchased by calling our customer ser- vice number at (800)
This procedure takes moderate electrical skill and the rewiring job must be inspected by a quali- fied electrician before the saw is connected to the power source. Also, the motors can be accessed easier for rewiring if the blade is moved to 0˚ (90˚ to table) before beginning.
To rewire the Model G0451 for 440V opera- tion:
1.Disconnect the saw from the power source!
2.Open the electrical panel and locate the volt- age transformer shown in Figure 7.
