Green (or green and yellow) conductor in cord is the
grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the elec-
tric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the
green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal.
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered,
it
must be replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong
receptacle installed in accordance with National Electric
Code and local codes and ordinances.
WARNING:
This work should be performed by a quali-
fied electrician.
A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter (see
Figure 4) is available for connecting plugs to a two pole
outlet if it is properly grounded.

•
Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter
unless permitted by local and national codes and
ordinances. (A 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter
is not permitted in Canada.) Where permitted, the
rigid green tab or terminal on the side of the adapter
must be securely connected to a permanent electri-
cal ground such as a properly grounded water pipe,
a properly grounded outlet box or a properly ground-
ed wire system.
Many cover plate screws, water pipes and outlet boxes are
not properly grounded. To ensure proper ground, ground-
ing means must be tested by a qualified electrician.
230 VOLT OPERATION
•
To use the band saw with a 230V, single-phase
power supply, have a qualified electrician attach a
230 volt, 20/30A 3-prong plug onto band saw line
cord and install the proper connectors and recepta-
cles to power supply.
•
See wiring diagram (Figure 5) for motor wiring
instructions.
EXTENSION
CORDS
•
The use of any extension cord will cause some drop
in voltage and loss of power.
•
Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size
to carry the current and maintain adequate voltage.
•
Use the table to determine the minimum wire size
(A.W.G.) extension cord.
•
Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-prong
grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which
accept the tool plug.
•
If the extension cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any
way, replace it immediately.
