ASSEMBLY (CONTINUED)
USE SUITABLE DUST COLLECTOR
Refer to Figure 6 and 8.
• The band saw has a dust port included that will accommodate
2 ½˝ dust collection hoses.
It is recommended that when in use, the band saw is connected to a
suitable dust collector.
INSTALLATION
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING:
All electrical connections must be performed by a qualified
electrician.
WARNING:
Make sure unit is off and disconnected from power source
any time wiring is inspected.
POWER SOURCE
Band Saw is prewired for 120 volt, 60 HZ power source.
The motor is designed for operation on the voltage and frequency
specified. Normal loads will be handled safely on voltages not more
than 10% above or below the specified voltage.
Running the unit on voltages which are not within the range may
cause overheating and motor burn-out. Heavy loads require that the
voltage at motor terminals be no less than the voltage specified.
Power supply to the motor is controlled by a single pole toggle
switch.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
Improper connection of equipment grounding conductor
can result in the risk of electrical shock. Equipment should be
grounded while in use to protect operator from electrical shock.
• Check with a qualified electrician if grounding instructions are
not understood or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded.
This tool is equipped with an approved 3-conductor cord rated at
150V and a three prong grounding type plug or your protection
against shock hazards.
• Grounding plug should be plugged directly into a properly
installed and grounded 3- prong grounding-type receptacle, as
shown (Figure 9).
• Do not remove or alter grounding prong in any manner. In the
event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path
of least resistance for electrical shock.
WARNING:
Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of plug when
installing or removing from outlet.
• Plug must be plugged into matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. Do not modify plug provided. If it will not fit in
outlet, have proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
• Inspect tool cords periodically, and if damaged, have repaired by
an authorized service facility.
• Green (or green and yellow) conductor in cord is the grounding
wire. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is
necessary, do not connect the green (or green and yellow) wire
to a live terminal.
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must be replaced
with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle installed in
accordance with National Electric Code and local codes and
ordinances.
WARNING:
This work should be performed by a qualified electrician.
A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter (see Figure 10)
is available for connecting plugs to a two pole outlet if it is properly
grounded.
• Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter unless
permitted by local and national codes and ordinances. (A 3-
prong to 2-prong grounding adapter is not permitted in
Canada.) Where permitted, the rigid green tab or terminal on the
side of the adapter must be securely connected to a permanent
electrical ground such as a properly grounded water pipe, a
properly grounded outlet box or a properly grounded wire
system.
