Vertical Tilting Band Saw
8.0 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
!
All electrical connections must be done by a
qualified electrician in compliance with all relevant
codes. This machine must be properly grounded to
help prevent serious or fatal injury.
7.1 Equipment Setting
1. Fill the coolant reservoir with 18 gallons of the appropriate
coolant.
2. A compressed air line should be connected to the filter at
the back of the saw (Fig. 5).
3. Use clean dry air regulated from 0.5 – 1.0CFM @ 80 –
100psi (.55 – .69MPa), supply air to the air filter through
the 1/4” NPT inlet port.
4. Drain any accumulated moisture within the filter at least
monthly.
5. Reference section 17.0,
Pneumatics / Hydraulics
for the
compressed air diagram.

The EVTBS16V is wired for 3-phase, 230V, or 3-phase
460V, depending on your model.
This tool should be connected to a grounded metal
permanent wiring system; or to a system having an
equipment-grounding conductor. The band saw must be
grounded. A qualified electrician can make the proper
electrical connections and confirm that the power on site is
compatible with the saw.
Before connecting to the power source, make sure the
switch is in the OFF position.
8.1 Three-Phase Test Run
After wiring the band saw, you should check that the wires
have been connected properly. Connect the machine to
the power source and turn it on for an instant to watch the
direction of the blade movement.
If the blade runs upward instead of downward, disconnect
the machine from the power, and switch any two of the
three leads in the motor junction box (see section 16.0,
Wiring Diagram
).
