9. The table plate may be used as cutting table in
vertical mode.
To use plate as cutting table in vertical mode,
refer to sect. 8.2.
10. Place the filter assembly (G, Figure 6-11) over
the drain hole and install the hose under the
filter tube.

6.5 Coolant Tank Preparation
Use of a water-soluble coolant will increase cutting
efficiency and prolong blade life. Do not use black
cutting oil as a substitute. Change cutting oil often
and follow manufacturer's instructions as to its uses
and precautions.
1) Disconnect machine from power source.
2) Pour coolant into hole through strainer cup. Fill
tank to approximately 80% of capacity.
3) Make sure coolant hose is properly connected
at each end, and return hose is connected to
drain hole and positioned in strainer cup, as
shown in Figure 6-11.
7.0 Electrical Connections
This band saw is rated at 115/230V power and is
pre-wired for 115 volts. The machine has a plug to
be used on a circuit with a grounded outlet that looks
like the one pictured in A, Figure 7-1.
The motor cable is designed as a male/female plug,
as a convenience for users when installing the motor
(Figure 7-4).
Before connecting to the power source, be sure the
switch is in the off position.
It is recommended that the band saw be connected
to a dedicated 15-amp circuit with circuit breaker or
fuse. If connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use
time delay fuse marked "D". Local codes take
precedence over recommendations.
7.1 Grounding Instructions
This machine must be grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with
an electric cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
conductor with insulation having an outer surface
that is green with or without yellow stripes is the
equipment-grounding
replacement of the electric cord or plug is
necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
conductor to a live terminal.
electrician or service personnel if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if
in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded. Failure to comply may cause serious
or fatal injury.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept
the tool's plug. Position extension cords as to avoid
a trip hazard. Comply with OSHA guidelines.

immediately.
When operated at 115-volt, this tool is intended for
use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the
one illustrated in A, Figure 7-1. An adapter, shown
in B and C is not recommended. Provide a properly
grounded outlet (A) installed by a qualified
electrician. Note: In Canada, the use of a temporary
adaptor is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical
Code, C22.1.
