CHANGING VOLTAGE

See Figures 2-4.

Your radial saw has been set up at the factory to operate efficiently on a 120V AC single voltage circuit. However, if heavy duty operation is required, the circuits are overloaded, or the circuit is low voltage, have a qualified electrician change the voltage on the main power system to a 240V AC voltage circuit.

_ WARNING: The control cut device is set up for a 120V AC single voltage circuit. Do not modify

the control cut cord. Identify the control cut cord and tie it back out of the way.

•Correctly identify the control cut cord, unplug it, and set it aside.

•Unplug the main power cord.

•Remove the blade following the procedure in the Assembly section.

•Remove the pan head screw above the blade arbor on the motor cover. Lift motor cover to

expose switch. See Figure 2.

•Use a small screwdriver to slide the dual voltage switch to the 240V position. See Figures 3 and 4.

•Reinstall motor cover.

•Replace the 120V plug on the main cord with a UL listed 240V, 15 amp, 3-prong plug.

•Follow the instructions provided with the UL listed plug.

•Plug the cord into a 240V, 15 amp, 3-blade recep- tacle. Make sure the receptacle is connected to a 240V AC power supply through a 240V branch circuit that has a 15 amp fuse or circuit breaker.

Note: No adapter is available for this type of plug or receptacle.
