Jet Tools HBS-56S operating instructions Volt Operation

Page 11

This band saw is pre-wired for 115 volt and is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug similar to that shown in Figure 6. The plug must be inserted 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 machine is properly grounded. Use only three wire extension cords that have three- prong grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the machine’s plug.

115 Volt Operation

As received from the factory, your band saw is ready to operate at 115 volt power, using an outlet and a plug that look similar to those illustrated in Figure 6.

A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Figure 7, may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle as shown, if a properly grounded outlet is not immediately available. The temporary adapter should only be used until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.

The green colored rigid ear, lug or tab, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box, as shown in Figure 7.

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.

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

Conversion to 230 Volt

If 230 volt operation is desired, the following instructions must be followed:
