Figure 7-1: Grounding
When operated at 230-volt, this tool is intended for
use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the
one illustrated in D, Figure 7-1. The tool has a
grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in
D. Make sure the tool is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as the plug. No
adapter is available or should be used with this tool.
If the tool must be reconnected for use on a different
type of electric circuit, the reconnection should be
made by qualified service personnel; and after
reconnection, the tool should comply with all local
codes and ordinances.
7.2 Voltage Conversion
Conversion from 115V to 230V must be done by
a qualified electrician.
The Band Saw is prewired for 115 volts. To change
incoming leads for 230 volts operation:
1) Open main motor junction box cover, and
change leads based on wiring diagram inside
cover. This diagram is also shown in Figure 7-
2. (NOTE: In case of discrepancy, diagram
inside junction box cover takes precedence.).
Reinstall cover.
2) Remove pump motor junction box cover, and
change incoming leads for coolant pump, based
on diagram shown in Figure 7-3. Reinstall
cover.
3) The plug on the end of the power cord must be
replaced with a UL/CSA listed plug rated for 230
volts operation.

7.3 Extension Cords
The use of extension cords is discouraged; try to
position machines near the power source. If an
extension cord is necessary, make sure it is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating.
Table 1 shows correct size to use depending on
cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.
