NOTE: Observe all electrical codes. Local codes
or difficult environmental conditions may demand
special electrical hook-ups. Always use a licensed
electrician for any special electrical hook-up.
Electrical
Models J-8201 and J-8201VS are delivered with a
115 volt single phase motor. Models J-8203 and J-
8203VS are delivered with a 220/440 volt, 3-phase
motor.
When the saw is a 115 volt model, it is supplied
with a standard 115 volt plug and power cord which
can be plugged into any suitable branch circuit.
When the saw is equipped with a 3-phase motor
there will be no plug on the 4-wire cable to the saw
switchbox. Instead, follow these instructions to
connect the 3-phase motor to the power source:
Connecting to 3-phase power
1. Disconnect and lock out the branch circuit to
the saw before attempting electrical
connections.
2. Connect the green or green-with-white-trace
wire to the branch circuit ground wire.
3. Connect the remaining three wires to the
power wires in the 3-phase branch circuit.
4. Reestablish power in the electrical branch.
5. Turn on power to the saw motor using the
switch.
6. Observe the direction of the blade. It should be
going DOWNWARD, into the slot on the table.
If it is not going downward, the power wires
are hooked-up incorrectly.
7. To correct hook-up, disconnect and lock out
power to the branch, again. Reverse any two
of the power wires on the hook-up to the saw
cable.
8. Reestablish power in the branch and turn the
saw on again. The blade should now be going
downward into the table slot.
Note: local electrical codes or other codes may re-
quire direct connection to a covered, protected
junction box, or other electrical hook-up method.
Especially under difficult industrial conditions,
specialized electrical connections may be
necessary. For special electrical hook-ups, a
licensed electrician should be used to connect the
saw to power.
CAUTION: KNOW AND OBSERVE ALL LOCAL
AND OTHER APPROPRIATE ELECTRICAL
CODES WHEN ATTACHING THIS BAND SAW
TO YOUR POWER SUPPLY.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
1. All grounded, cord-connected tools:
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This tool is equipped with an electric cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a
matching outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the
outlet; have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
conductor with insulation having an outer surface
that is green with or without yellow stripes is the
equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is
necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service
personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether
the tool is properly grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-
pronggrounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that
accept the tool’s plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord
immediately.
