Changing Motor Connections

a.

Under normal home workshop usage, and if proper

(full) voltage is supplied to the motor, your saw will

operate

efficiently

on

120V,

as

connected

at

the

factory. However, if any of the following conditions
exists, it will be advisable for you to reconnect the

motor

for

240V

operation

to

obtain

the

efficiency and performance for which your saw is
designed:

(1) Heavy-duty operations.

(2) Either an undersized or an overloaded branch

circuit serving the saw motor.

(3) Low voltage supplied by the power source,

which the power company cannot correct.

b.

Motor wiring connections for 120V [as made at the

factory)

are

described

below.

Necessary

reconnections for 240V operation are also described
following.

Whenever

changing

connections

from

120V to 240V or vice-versa, make certain that a//

necessary

steps

(including

proper

fusing

of

the

branch circuit) are completed.

b.

The wires inside of the motor must be connected as

shown:

(1) The orange-colored wire on number 6 terminal.

(2) The brown-colored wire on number 5 terminal.

Connections for 240V A.C.

a.

The wires inside the motor terminal box must be

connected as follows:

(1) The orange-colored wire on number 8 terminal.

(2) The brown-colored wire on number 7 terminal.

b.

Replace the 120V power-cord plug with a (3-biade)

240V

plug,

connecting

the

power-cord

white

and

black

leads,

respectively,

to

the

two

"hot"

blades — and connecting the power-cord grounding
wire to the plug ground prong.

d.

Make certain the receptacle is connected to a 240V

A-C

power

supply

through

a

240V

branch

circuit

having at least a 15-amp, capacity, and protected by
a 15-amp. time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.

MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION

NOTE: This motor should be blown out, or "vacuumed",
frequently

to

prevent

sawdust

interference

with

normal

motor ventilation.

Your

saw

motor

is

equipped

with

a

manual-reset,

thermal-overload

protector

designed

to

open

the

power-line

circuit when the motor temperature exceeds a safe value.

1. If the protector opens the line and stops the saw motor,

immediately

press

the

saw

switch

to

the

"OFF"

position, and allow the motor to cool.
