compliance with all relevant codes.
A plug needs to be purchased for the bandsaw
that matches the outlet you intend to use (A, Fig.

Confirm that power at the site matches the
specifications of the before making any electrical
connections. Review the wiring diagrams on
pages 29-31 and the information on page 12.
The on/off switch (B, Fig. 26) is thermally
protected. If the saw motor is overloaded, or a
momentary interruption of electrical current is
sensed, the saw will shut off. Allow a few
minutes for the saw to cool down, then reset by
pushing the off button.
