3.4 Connecting mains supply - direction of rotation
• When connecting a saw with a three-phase motor to the mains, check to see
that the sawblade rotates in the right direction (away from the riving knife). The
direction of blade rotation is indicated on the sawblade cover under the table.
If the blade rotates in the wrong direction, two of the phases must be switched.
This should be done by an electrician. Three-phase saws which run on 400 V
have a change of phase switch which is operated by a screwdriver. These saws
are fitted with a neutral wire, i.e. 5-prong plugs. Note the placement of the neutral
prong in Fig. 7. Check also to see that the blade is mounted correctly with re-
gards to the direction of rotation.
•
NOTE! For single-phase motors, supply cables must have at least 2.5 mm
2
conductors. Recommended cablelength max. 20 feet.
• Extension cords must have ground protection.
• For 3-phase motors, this dimension is required for cables over 10 feet in
length.
