3. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for
use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating
between 150 - 250 volts, inclusive:
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet that looks like the one illustrated in
D, Figure
5. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the
plug illustrated in
D . Make sure the tool is
connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. No adapter is available
or should be used with this tool. If the tool must be
reconnected for use on a different type of electric
circuit, the reconnection should be made by
qualified service personnel; and after reconnection,
the tool should comply with all local codes and
ordinances.
7.9 Voltage conversion
To switch the incoming power leads for 230 volt
operation, follow the wiring diagram on the inside
cover of motor junction box.
The plug on the end of the motor cord must be
replaced with a UL/CSA listed plug rated for 240V.
7.10 Extension cords
The use of extension cords is discouraged; try to
position machines within reach of power source. If
an extension cord becomes necessary, make sure
the cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed
on the machine’s motor plate. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating.

Table 1
Use Table 1 as a general guide in choosing the
correct size cord. The smaller the gauge number,
the heavier the cord. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge.
7.11 Switch lockout
The band saw is equipped with a push-button
switch that will accept a safety padlock, as shown
in Figure 6. To safeguard your machine from
unauthorized operation and accidental starting by
young children, the use of a padlock (not provided)
is highly recommended. Place the key in a location
that is inaccessible to children and others not
qualified to use the tool.

8.2 Fence resaw plate
Refer to Figures 7 and 8.
Loosen lock bar (A) with handle (B). Pull out on
lock bar until it protrudes enough on which to slide
the aluminum fence plate from one end, as shown
in Figure 7. Retighten knobs.
Figure 7 – vertical position
The aluminum fence plate can be installed in one
of two positions; vertically (resaw position), as
shown in Figure 7; or horizontally as shown in
Figure 8.
Horizontal position is useful for smaller workpieces.
(The zero setting of the cursor cannot be used with
horizontal fence position.)
