115 Volt Operation
As received from the factory, your band saw is ready to run at 115 volt operation. This band saw, when wired for 115 volts, is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet and a plug that looks like the one illustrated in Figure 21. A temporary adapter, like the adapter in Figure 22, may be used to connect this plug to a
230 Volt Conversion
If 230V,
1.Disconnect machine from power source.
2.This band saw is supplied with four motor leads that are connected for 115V operation, as shown in Figure 23. Reconnect these four motor leads for 230V operation, as shown in Figure 23.
3.The 115V attachment plug supplied with the band saw must be replaced with a UL/CSA listed plug suitable for 230V operation, as shown in Figure 24. Contact your local authorized Walter Meier service center or qualified electrician for proper procedures to install the plug. The band saw must comply with all local and national codes after the 230 volt plug is installed.
4.The band saw with a 230 volt plug should only be connected to an outlet having the same configuration (Figure 24). No adapter is available or should be used with the 230 volt plug.
Important: In all cases (115 or 230 volts), make certain the receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a registered electrician check the receptacle.
