To Change Motor Voltage to 240 A.C.
Under normal home workshop conditions, if full voltage is supplied to the motor, the 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 voltage situation.
The following procedure to change motor voltage should be followed only by a
qualified electrician. Note: Whenever changing the switch position from 120 to 240V,, make certain that all necesssa_ steps
(including properfusing of the branch cir- cuit) 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 voltage switch to 240V position.
