FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY!
POWER SUPPLY
WARNING!:
YOUR WOOD BANDSAW MUST BE CONNECTED TO A 120V, 15-AMP,
BRANCH CIRCUIT. FAILURE TO CONNECT IN THIS WAY CAN RESULT IN INJURY
FROM SHOCK OR FIRE.
GROUNDING
This Wood Bandsaw must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current, reducing the risk of
electric shock. This Wood Bandsaw is equipped with a cord having an equipment
grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances. Not all outlets are properly grounded. If you are not sure if your
outlet is properly grounded, have it checked by a qualified electrician.
WARNING!:
IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED, THIS WOOD BANDSAW CAN
CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK, PARTICULARLY WHEN USED IN DAMP
LOCATIONS. TO AVOID SHOCK OR FIRE, IF THE POWER CORD IS WORN OR
DAMAGED IN ANY WAY, HAVE IT REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.
WARNING!:
TO MAINTAIN PROPER GROUNDING OF YOUR WOOD BANDSAW, DO
NOT REMOVE OR ALTER THE GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MANNER.
120V OPERATION
As received from the factory, your Wood Bandsaw is ready to run for 120V operation.
This Wood Bandsaw is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet and a plug which
looks like the one illustrated in Fig.1.
WARNING!:
DO NOT USE A TWO-PRONG ADAPTOR FOR THEY ARE NOT IN
ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES AND ORDINANCES. NEVER USE IN CANADA.
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. Use the chart Fig.2 to
determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G-American Wire Gauge) extension cord
needed. Use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and
3-hole receptacles which accept the tool’s plug. For circuits that are further away from the
electrical circuit box, the wire size must be increased proportionately in order to deliver
ample voltage to the motor. Refer to Fig. 2 for extension cord length and size (gauge).
