Changing Motor Voltage; Changing The Saw Blade - Craftsman 152.221040 Owner's Manual

CHANGING MOTOR VOLTAGE CHANGING THE SAW BLADE
• MAKE CERTAIN the table saw is disconnected from
the power source.
• Have a certified electrician make all electrical connec-
tions. All local and state codes must be maintained.
The motor supplied with the table saw is a dual voltage
120/240-volt, single phase motor. The motor is wired
from the factory for 120-volt operation. To change to
240-volt operation for your table saw, proceed with the
following instructions. It is also necessary to replace
the 120 volt plug, supplied with the table saw, with a
UL/CSA Listed plug (not included) suitable for 240 volts
and the rated current of the motor. The table saw with
a 240 volt plug should only be connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter
is available or should be used with the 240 volt plug.
• Turn the power switch "OFF" and unplug the power
cord from its power source.
• USE ONLY lO-in, diameter blades with 5/8-in. arbor
holes, rated at or higher than 3800 R.P.M.
