INSTALLATION

Refer to Figures 1 – 7.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt installation if parts are missing. Use this
manual to order repair parts.
Before band saw is installed, a suitable location should be chosen.
Band saw weighs approximately 625 lbs.
• Band saw needs to be set on a flat, level surface.
• Make sure there is ample room for the workpiece.
• Good lighting and correct power supply are also required for a
proper work area.

POWER SOURCE

Band saw comes prewired for 120 volt, 60 Hz power. To prolong
electrical component life, it is recommended to rewire it to 240 volt,
single phase operation.
WARNING:
All electrical connections must be performed by a
qualified electrician. Make sure tool is off and disconnected from
power source while motor is mounted, connected, reconnected or
anytime wiring is inspected.

Figure 2 - Electrical Panel Layout
To rewire band saw to 240 volt, single phase operation:
• Rewire main motor to 240V. Refer to Figure 3 and motor
nameplate for wiring schematic.
• Rewire coolant pump to 240V. Refer to Figure 4 and wiring
schematic found on the inside of motor's junction box cover.
• Change the wire position from the 115V or 230V, to the desired
voltage setting, See Figure 4.
• Change thermal overload setting to 14A for 240V operation. For
120V operation, thermal overload should be set to 17A as shown
in Figure 5.
NOTE: The thermal overload will automatically turn off the magnetic
contactor when an overload occurs. Be sure to disconnect band saw
from power source when resetting overload protector. The
protection is reset by pressing the rest button.
