240 VOLT SINGLE PHRASE OPERATION

To avoid injury, disconnect the motor from power

source outlet before reconnecting the wire.
The motor supplied with your machine is a dual 

voltage, 120/240 volt motor. It is shipped ready-to-run 

for 120 volt operation. However, it can be converted 

for 240 volt operation, reconnect the motor wire as 

the wiring diagram on page 20. 

A qualified electrician should do the conversion, or 

the machine can be taken to an Authorized Service 

Center. When completed, the machine must conform 

to the National Electric Code and all local codes 

and ordinances.
The machine is converted by re-wiring the motor

for 240 volts, installing a 240 volt plug on the power

supply cord and replacing the switch with one that is

rated for 240 volt operation. 
Be sure the 240 volt plug is only used in an outlet 

having the same configuration as the plug illustrated 

in Fig. 1. 
No adapter should be used with the 240 volt plug.

In all cases, make certain that the receptacle in ques

-

tion is properly grounded. If you are  not sure, have a 

qualified electrician check the receptacle.
