Page: 6 / 32

WIRING MOTOR
(A) All power saws are wired at the factory for 220 volts or 440 volts as specified on original order. Be sure motor
specificaitons (voltage, cycle, phase) match power supply line. Be sure line voltage is up to specification.
(B) Connect leads to machine in a manner that will be approved by local electrical inspectors.
(C) We recommend not less than No. 12 wire. If leads are too light, machine may not have sufficient cutting
power and/or speed.
(D) The V-belt is packed loose in machine to prevent deformation, and must be installed on pulleys at time of
installation.
(E) Motors are dual voltage and can be changed according to wiring diagram on motor nameplate. Be sure the
correct AEG contactor and overload is installed to match the selected volts and amps.
(F) FAILURE TO USE THE PROPER CONTACTOR AND OVERLOAD FOR MOTOR VOLTAGE WILL CAUSE
IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO THE CONTACTOR.
(G) The BIRO Manufacturing Company is not responsible for permanent wiring, connection or installation.
5. Be sure saw blade is properly installed on the saw wheels and set at proper tension. Turn the blade tensioning
