See Figures 2- 4.
Your radial saw has been set up at the factory to
operate efficiently on a 120V AC single voltage circuit,
However, if heavy duty operation is required, the
circuits are overloaded, or the circuit is low voltage,
have a qualified electrician change the voltage on the
main power system to a 240V AC voltage circuit,
,_ WARNING: The control cut device is set up for
a 120V AC single voltage circuit. Do not modify
the control cut cord. Identify the control cut
cord and tie it back out of the way.
• Correctly identify the control cut cord, unplug it,
and set it aside.
• Unplug the main power cord,
• Remove the blade following the procedure in the
Assembly section,
• Remove the pan head screw above the blade
arbor on the motor cover, Lift motor cover to
expose switch. See Figure 2,
• Use a small screwdriver to slide the dual voltage
switch to the 240V position, See Figures 3 and 4,
• Reinstall motor cover.
• Replace the 120V plug on the main cord with a UL
listed 240V, 15 amp, 3-prong plug,
• Follow the instructions provided with the UL listed
plug,
• Plug the cord into a 240V, 15 amp, 3-blade recep-
tacle. Make sure the receptacle is connected to a
240V AC power supply through a 240V branch
circuit that has a 15 amp fuse or circuit breaker.
