WARNING! This saw must be connected to a grounded metal permanent wiring system, or to a system
having an equipment-grounding conductor. Failure to connect this saw to an adequate electrical ground may
cause the safety system to malfunction and could result in a serious injury or electric shock.
WARNING! Do not install a blade on saws using three phase power until the motor has been verified
to spin in the correct direction. If the motor spins backward with a blade installed, the arbor nut may
spin off the arbor, which could allow the blade to spin off the arbor and cause a serious injury.
WARNING! Do not connect the saw to electrical power until the saw is
completely assembled and you have read and understood this entire manual.
11. Electrical Power Connection:
Your saw is shipped without a cord. The saw must be permanently connected to the building electrical system
in accordance with the National Electrical Code and any other applicable state and local codes. Extension
cords should not be used with this saw. Consult a licensed electrician if you are unsure how to properly connect
the saw to the building electrical system.
All electrical connections must be made to the
terminal box on the rear exterior of the cabinet (see
Fig. 18). The specification label located just above
the terminal box indicates the type of power supply
(i.e., voltage, amperage and phase) required.
Attempting to operate the saw on a power supply
different than specified on the specification label
will void all warranties and may result in serious
injury as well as damage to, or a malfunction of,
the saw or safety system.
Connect electrical power to the terminal box
as illustrated in the electrical schematics on
pages 77-79.
Do not make any connections to the
disconnect switch box or the magnetic contactor
box mounted inside the cabinet. The magnetic
contactor box is sealed against tampering. The
destruction, removal or alteration of the seal will
void all warranties.
Note for Saws using Three Phase Power
When connecting this saw to a three phase power supply, you must test the motor to verify it spins in the correct
direction before installing a blade. However, the safety system normally prevents the motor from spinning
without a blade installed. To safely test the direction of motor spin, first make sure that no blade is installed
and then turn on the Main Power. Wait for approximately 5-10 seconds until the Red LED is on solid and the
Green LED blinks slowly (indicating the system cannot detect the blade). Next, insert the Bypass key in the
Bypass switch, turn the key clockwise and hold for at least one second. Finally, pull out the Start/Stop paddle.
The system will briefly pulse the power to the motor so that the direction of motor spin can be determined. The
