Electrical: 230 Volt Conversion - Powermatic 64A Instruction Manual

When completing operations where the supplied guard
cannot be used as in some dadoing operations, alter-
native safety precautions should be taken. These in-
clude: push sticks, feather boards, filler pieces, fix-
tures, jigs and any other appropriate device that can
be utilized to keep operators' hands away from the
blade. See page 27.
Upon completion of the operation requiring removal of
the guard, the entire guard assembly must be placed
back on the machine in its proper working position.
CAUTION: Never use a wedge between
!
the arbor collar and saw blade to create a
"wobble" dado. Never operate the saw
without the guard, splitter and anti-kickback
pawls for operations where they can be
used. Never use a dado head in a tilted
position.
ELECTRICAL: 64A
230 VOLT CONVERSION
WARNING: The conversion from 115V to
!
230V operation must be done by a
qualified electrician.
The 64A saw is prewired for 115 volt operation. If 230
volt, single phase operation is desired, the following
instructions must be followed:
1. Disconnect saw from its power source.
2. This saw is supplied with four motor leads that
are connected for 115V operation, as shown in Figure
42. Reconnect these four motor leads for 230V op-
eration, as shown in Figure 43.
3. The 115V attachment plug, supplied with the saw,
must be replaced with a UL/CSA listed plug suitable
for 230V operation. (This plug is illustrated in Sketch
D in Figure 23.) Contact your local Authorized POW-
ERMATIC Service Center or qualified electrician for
proper procedures to install the plug. The saw must
comply with all local and national codes after the 230V
plug is installed.
4. The saw with a 230V plug should only be con-
nected to an outlet having the same configuration as
illustrated by the grounded outlet box in Sketch D in
Figure 23. No adapter should be used with the 230V
plug.
IMPORTANT: In all cases (115 or 230 volts), make
certain the receptacle in question is properly
grounded. If you are not sure, have a registered
electrician check the receptacle.
