Electrical Connections
To Change Motor Voltage to 240
A.C.
Under normal home workshop conditions,
if full voltage is supplied to the motor, the
saw will operate efficiently on 120V. If any
of the following conditions exist, it will be
advisable to have a qualified electrician
reconnect the motor for 240V operation;
• heavy duty operation
• either undersized or overloaded
branch circuit serves the saw
• power company cannot correct a low
voltage situation.
The following procedure to change motor
voltage should be followed only by a
qualified electrician. Note;
Whenever
changing the switch position from 120 to
240V, make certain that all necesssary steps
(including proper fusing of the branch cir­
cuit) are completed.
1. Unplug saw.
2. Remove pan head screw from top of
motor cover. Remove motor cover panel
at blade end of motor.
3. Use small screwdriver to slide dual
voltage switch to 240V position.
4. Re-install motor cover panel.
5. Replace 120V power cord plug with
240V, 15 amp, 3-prong plug.
6
. Connect power cord white and black
leads to two "hot" plug blades; connect
power cord grounding wire to plug
ground prong.
7. Plug cord into 240V, 15 amp, 3-bIade
receptacle. Make sure receptable is con­
nected to a 240V A.C. power supply
through a 240V branch circuit having at
least a 15 amp time delay fuse or circuit
breaker. Note:
No adapter is available for
this type plug.
