ELECTRICAL CON NECTIONS
WIRING MOTOR
WARNING: ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
MUST BE PERFORMED BY A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
Refer to Figure 2
The motor (Key No, 1) should be wired for 120 volts and
clockwise rotation as viewed from shaft end of motor
A schematic supplied with motor will describe proper
wiring procedures
Refer to Figure 3
Wire motor tine cord (Key No,. 6) to motor using strain
relief (Key No, 8) and two wire nuts (not shown),
Mount strain relief to motor connection box by removing
a "knock-out" on connection box and locking the strain
relief through "knock-out" hole with strain relief nut
Pass motor cord through strain relief and secure cord
with screw and nut on strain relief.
Wire motor with wire nuts provided Be sure to ground

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The 18" Band Saw isa versatile cutting tool and provides
four different cutting speeds so the saw can be used to
cut a variety of materials. The band saw offers con-
venient tensioning and tracking so changing blades is
not cumbersome The band saw can accommodate
blade widths up to 1" for many types of cuts
WARNING: ALWAYS OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
Use proper blade for workpiece. Make sure blade
guides are positioned and adjusted correctly
Check to make sure blade is tensioned correctly_ Be
