230 Volt Conversion
If 230V single phase operation is desired, follow these instructions:
1.Disconnect tablesaw from power source.
2.Open the motor junction box, and consult the diagrams affixed to the inside of the junction box cover. These diagrams are also shown in Figures 2 and 3. This saw is supplied with four motor leads that are connected for 115V operation (Figure 2). Reconnect these four motor leads for 230V operation (Figure 3).
3.The 115V attachment plug, supplied with the saw, must be replaced with a UL/CSA listed plug suitable for 230V operation. Consult an electrician for proper procedures to install the plug. The saw must comply with all local and national codes after the 230V plug is installed.
In all cases (115V or 230V) make certain the receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a registered electrician check the receptacle.
Extension Cords
If an extension cord is necessary, make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on the machine’s motor plate. An undersize cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Use the chart in Figure 4 as a general guide in choosing the correct size cord. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
