When using a phase converter, the power from the manufactured power leg (sometimes called the wild wire) can fluctuate. Connect the manufac- tured power leg to the S terminal to prevent dam- age to the electrical controls. 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 electrical controls and must be consistent to prevent damage. See the instruction manual included with the phase converter for more information.
Grounding
In the event of an electrical short, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock. The ground- ing wire in the cord must be properly connected to the grounding prong on the plug; likewise, the outlet must be properly installed and grounded. All electrical connections must be made in accor- dance 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!
The Model G0588 can be rewired for 440V oper- ation. This rewiring job consists of disconnecting the saw from the power source, replacing the magnetic switch, and rewiring the motor.
The necessary magnetic switch for this proce- dure can be purchased by calling our Customer Service 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.
To rewire the Model G0588 for 440V opera- tion:
1.Disconnect the saw from the power source!
2.Remove the control panel cover plate shown in Figure 6.
