MOTOR
AND ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
The band saw is supplied with a motor° The 120 volt AC
capacitor start motor has the following specifications:
Max° Developed Horsepower ....................... 2
Voltage .......................................... 120
Amperes
.......................................... 7

POWER SOURCE
1_ The motor is designed for operation on the voltage
and frequency specified on motor nameplate_
2. Normal loads will be handled safely on voltages not
more than 10% above or below nameplate voltage
3. Running unit on voltages which are not within this
range may cause overheating and motor burnout.
GROUNDING iNSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: CHECK WITH A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN OR SERVICE PERSON-
NEL IF GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
ARE NOT UNDERSTOOD OR IF IN
DOUBT AS TO WHETHER BAND SAW
IS PROPERLY GROUNDED.
DO NOT PERMIT FINGERS TO TOUCH
TERMINALS OF PLUGS WHEN IN-
STALLING OR REMOVING PLUG,
The band saw is provided with a 3-conductor cord and
ground type plug which has a grounding prong ap-
proved by Underwriters Laboratories and the Canadian
Standards Association
Do not remove or alter grounding prong in any manner_
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electrical current
to reduce risk of electrical shock.
The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance'with all
local codes and ordinances_
Do not modify plug provided. If itwitl not fit in the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician°
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding con-
ductor can result in a risk of electrical shock.
The conductor with insulation having an outer surface
which is green or yellow with green stripe is the equip-
ment-grounding conductor,,
If repair or replacement of the electrical cord or plug is
necessary, make sure the equipment-grounding con-
ductor is not connected to a line terminal,
EXTENSION CORDS
I. The use of any extension cord wilt cause some drop
in the voltage and loss of power,
2. Wires of the extension cord must be sufficient in size
to carry the current and maintain adequate voltage.
3. Use the table below to determine the minimum wire
size (AWoG.) extension cord.
4_ Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-prong
grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which
accept the tool plug.
5, If power cord is worn, cut or damaged in any way,
have it replaced immediately.,
Extension Cord Length Wire Size A.W.G,
Upto50 ft ........................................... t6
50 - 100 ft ........................................... 14
NOTE: Using extension cords over 100 ft. long is
not recommended.
UNPACKING
Check for shipping damage_ tf any damage or loss has
occurred, immediately fife a claim with the carrier°
IMPORTANT: TABLE AND RIP FENCE ARE COATED
WITH A PROTECTIVE COATING WHICH MUST BE
REMOVED FOR PROPER FIT AND OPERATION,
Remove coating with mild solvents such as mineral
spirits and a soft cloth, Nonflammable solvents are
recommended. After cleaning, cover all exposed sur-
faces with a light coating of oil, Paste ,wax is recom-
mended for table tops
Caution:Never use highly volatile solvents, Avoid
getting cleaning solution on paint, rubber or
plastic parts as it may tend to deteriorate
these 1inishes, Use soap and water on paint,
plastic or rubber components.
