To Change Motor Voltage to 240 A.C.
Under normal home workshop conditions, if
full voltage is supplied to the motor, your
saw will operate efficiently on 120V. If any
of the following conditions exist, it will be
advisable to have a qualified electrician
reconnect the motor for 240V operation:
• heavy duty operation
• either undersized or overloaded branch
circuit serves the saw
• power company cannot correct a low volt-
age situation.
The following procedure to change motor
voltage should be performed only by a quali-
fied electrician. Note: Whenever changing
the switch position from 120 to 240V,, make
certain that all necessary steps (inch_ding
proper fusing of the branch circuit) are com-
pleted.
