The 115V attachment plug supplied with the
band saw must be replaced with a UL/CSA
listed plug suitable for 230V operation, as shown
in Figure 13. Contact your local authorized JET
service center or qualified electrician for proper
procedures to install the plug. The band saw
must comply with all local and national codes
after the 230-volt plug is installed.
The band saw with a 230-volt plug should only
be connected to an outlet having the same
configuration
(Figure
available or should be used with the 230-volt
plug.

IMPORTANT: In all cases (115 or 230 volts),
make certain the receptacle in question is
properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a
registered electrician check the receptacle.
It is recommended that the JWBS-14OS Band
Saw be connected to a dedicated, minimum 15
amp circuit with a 15 amp circuit breaker or time
delay fuse. Local codes take precedence over
recommendations.

Extension Cords
Use only three wire extension cords that have
three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole
receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
Make sure the cord is in good condition, and
heavy enough to carry the current your band
saw will draw. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power
and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size
to use depending on cord length and the ampere
rating on your machine's nameplate. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord
immediately.
