To Change Motor Voltage to 240 Volt A.C.

Under normal home workshop conditions, if full voltage is supplied to the motor, your saw will operate efficiently on 120V. If any of the following conditions exist, it will be advisable to have a qualified electrician reconnect the motor for 240V operation:

•heavy duty operation

•either undersized or overloaded branch circuit serves the saw

•power company cannot correct a low volt- age situation.

The following procedure to change motor voltage should be performed only by a quali- fied electrician. Note: Whenever changing the switch position from 120 to 240V, make certain that all necessary steps (including proper fusing of the branch circuit) are completed.

1.Unplug saw.

2.Remove pan head screw from top of motor cover. Remove motor cover panel at blade end of motor.

3.Use small screwdriver to slide dual volt- age switch to 240V position.

4.Re-install motor cover panel.

5.Replace 120V power cord plug with 240V,

15amp, UL listed assembled-on plug cap.

6.Connect power cord white and black leads to two "hot" plug blades; connect power cord grounding wire to plug ground prong.

7.Plug cord into 240V, 15 amp, 3-blade receptacle. Make sure receptacle is con- nected to a 240V A.C. power supply through a 240V branch circuit having at least a 15 amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. Note: No adapter is available for this type plug.
