To Change Motor Voltage to 240 A.C.
Under normal home workshop conditions, if
full voltage is supplied to the motor, your
saw will operate efficiently on 120V. If any
of the following conditions exist, it will be
advisable to have a qualified electrician
reconnect the motor for 240V operation:
• heavy duty operation
• either undersized or overloaded branch
circuit serves the saw
• power company cannot correct a low volt-
age situation.
The following procedure to change motor
voltage should be performed only by a quali-
fied electrician. Note: Whenever changing
the switch position from 120 to 240V, make
certain that all necessary steps (including
proper fusing of the branch circuit) are com-
pleted.
1. Unplug saw.
2. Remove pan head screw from top of
motor cover. Remove motor cover panel at
blade end of motor.
3. Use small screwdriver to slide dual volt-
age switch to 240V position./
4. Re-install motor cover panel.
5. Replace 120V power cord plug with
240V, 15 amp, 3-prong plug.
6. Connect power cord white and black leads
to two "hot" plug blades; connect power
cord grounding wire to plug ground prong.
7. Plug cord into 240V, 15 amp, 3-blade
receptacle. Make sure receptacle is connect-
ed to a 240V A.C. power supply through a
240V branch circuit having at least a 15 amp
time delay fuse or circuit breaker. Note: No
adapter is available for this type plug.
