Power Connection
Before the machine can be connected to the
power source, an electrical circuit must be made
available that meets the minimum specifications
given in the Circuit Requirements subsection on
Page 12. If a power circuit has not been prepared
for the machine, do that now. To ensure a safe
and code-compliant setup, we strongly recom-
mend that all electrical work be done by a quali-
fied electrician.
NOTICE
The Model G0699 is prewired for 220V. If
you plan to operate the machine at 440V,
the two overload relays on the electrical
panel must be replaced and the motors
must be rewired (refer to 440V Conversion
on Page 14 for detailed instructions).
To connect the saw to the power source:
1.
Open the power connection junction box
shown in Figure 66.

2.
Feed the incoming power cord through the
strain relief at the bottom of the junction box
(see Figure 66).

Strain Relief
3.
Make sure there is enough power cord inside
the junction box to make the connections with
the same amount of slack as the wires con-
nected on top of the terminal bar, then tighten
the strain relief around the cord.
4.
Tug on the cord with moderate force to make
sure it does not move.
— If the power cord comes loose when you
tug on it, re-position it and re-tighten the
strain relief. If the strain relief does not
adequately secure the cord, then replace it
with one that is correctly sized for the cord.
In the next step, connect the incoming hot
wires to the three left terminals and the
ground wire to the right-most terminal, as
shown in Figure 67.
5.
Loosen the terminal screw, insert the wires
between the terminal plates, then fully tighten
the terminal screw. Tug on the wires to make
sure that they are secure.
— If a wire comes loose when you tug on it,
repeat this step. If you continue to have
difficulty connecting the wires securely,
consider using clamp-on ring or spade ter-
minals on the ends of the wires.
