Changing Voltage - Craftsman 315.220381 Owner's Manual

CHANGING VOLTAGE
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 controlcut
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 followingthe 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 instructionsprovided 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.
Note: No adapter is available for this type of plug or
receptacle.
