ELECTRICAL CONNECTiONS

NOTE: This.saw motor i s wired at the factory
for 120-volt,
in figure 1 and described in paragraph
below. Under normal home workshop use
with proper voltage to the motor, the saw
will operote with adequate efficiency. How-
ever, i f any of the following conditions exist,
it may b e necessary to reconnect the sow
for 240 volts AC as described in paragraph
2, below.
1.
Continuous heavy-duty use.
2. Undersize wiring i n circuit from motor to
power source, or overloaded circuit.
Low voltage from power source to motor
(which may be due to overlooded power
source).
The power cord must also be changed from the 120-volt type
to the 240-volt type, when changing to 240-volt operation.

Connections For 120-Volts
replacing a motor or connecting the saw to 120-volts
for any reason, make sure the wires inside the motor
terminal box are connected as follows:

Connections For 240- Volts
connecting the motor for 240-volt operation, the fol-
lowing connections must be made inside the motor ter-

a. Cut off the existing molded plug (for 120-volts).
b.
Attach an appropriate 240-volt plug.
CAUTION: Do notconnect the stcndard 120-
volt plug t o a 240-volt receptacle.
MOTOR
The saw motor i s equipped with a manual-reset thermal
overload protector, designed t o open the power line circuit
when the motor temperature exceeds a safe value.
1. If the protector opens the line a n d stops the saw motor,
press the saw switch to the
and allow the motor to cool.
2.
After cooling to a safe operating temperature, the over-
load protector can be closed manually
