electrical connections

An adapter as shown below is available for connecting plugs to 2-prong receptacles. The green grounding lug

extending from the adapter must be connected to a

permanent ground such as to a properly grounded outlet box.

NOTE: The adapter illustrated is for use only if you already have a properly grounded 2-prong receptacle.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING:CHANGES IN ELECTRICAL

CONNECTIONS SHOULD BE MADE BY A

QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

1.Changing Motor Connections

a.Under normal home workshop usage, and if proper (full) voltage is supplied to the motor, your saw will

operate efficiently on t20V, as connected at the

factory. However, if any of the following conditions exists, it will be advisable for you to reconnect the

motor for 240V operation - to obtain the

efficiency and performance for which your saw is designed:

(1)Heavy-duty operations.

(2)Either an undersized or an overloaded branch circuit serving the saw motor.

(3)Low voltage supplied by the power source, which the power company cannot correct.

b.Motor wiring connections for 120V (as made at the

factory) are described below. Necessary

reconnections for 240V operation are also described

following. Whenever changing connections from 120V to 240V or vice-versa, make certain that all

necessary steps (including proper fusing of the branch circuit) are completed.

2.Connections for 120V A.C.

a.Remove nameplate cover from motor to expose terminal board.

b.The wires inside of the motor must be connected as shown:

(1)The orange-colored wire on number 6 terminal.

(2)The brown-colored wire on number 5 terminal.

Use the 120V power-cord plug furnished with your saw.

3.Connections for 240V A.C.

a.The wires inside the motor terminal box must be connected as follows:

(1)The orange-colored wire on number 8 terminal.

(2)The brown-colored wire on number 7 terminal.

b.Replace the 120V power-cord plugwith a (3-blade)

240V plug, connecting the power-cord white and

black leads, respectively, to the two "hot" plug

blades - and connecting the power-cord grounding wire to the plug ground prong.

c.Plug your saw into a 240V, 3-blade receptacle.

d.Make certain the receptacle is connected to a 240V A-C power supply through a 240V branch circuit having at least a 15-amp. capacity, and protected by a 15-amp. time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.

MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION

NOTE: This motor should be blown out, or "vacuumed",

frequently to prevent sawdust interference with normal motor ventilation.

Your saw motor is equipped with a manual-reset,

thermal-overload protector designed to open the power-line

circuit when the motor temperature exceeds a safe value.

PROTECT_

(R_D

1.If the protector opens the line and stops the saw motor,

immediately press the saw switch to the "OFF'" position, and allow the motor to cool.
