connected as follows:
(1) The orange-colored wire on number 8 terminal
(2) The brown-colored wire on number 7 terminal.

Replace the 120V power-cord plug with a (3-blade)
240V plug, connecting the power-cord white and
black leads, respectively, to the two "hot" plug
blades - and connecting the power-cord grounding
wire to the plug ground prong,

c. Plug your saw into a 240V, 3-blade receptacle.
d, Make certain the receptacle is connected to a 240V
A-C power supply through a 240V branch circuit
having at least a 15_amp,.capacity, and protected by
a 15-amp. time-delay fuse or circuit breaker°
MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION
NOTE; This motor should be blown out, or "vacuumed",
frequently to prevent sawdust interference with normal
motor ventilation.
Your saw motor is equipped with a manual-reset,
thermaboverloed protector designed to open the power-line
circuit when the motor temperature exceeds a safe value,

If the protector opens the line and stops the saw motor,
immediately press the saw switch to the "OFF"
position, and allow the motor to cool
After cooling to a safe operating temperature, the
overload protector can be closed manually by pushing
in the red button on the top of the motor, ff the red
button will not snap into place immediatety, the motor
is still too hot and must be allowed to cool for a while
longer.. In some cases this may take 20-30 minutes. (An
audible click will indicate protector is cIosed.)
As soon as the red button will snap into running
position, the saw may be started and operated
normally, by pulling out the saw switch to the "ON"
position.
Frequent opening of fuses or circuit breakers may result
if motor is overloaded, or if the motor circuit is fused
differently from recommendations.. Overloading can
occur if you feed too rapidly or if your saw is
misaHgned so that the blade heels,. Do not use a fuse of
greater capacity without consulting a qualified
electrician.
5. Although the motor is designed for operation on the
voltage and frequency specified on motor nameplate,
normal loads will be handled safely on voltages not
more than 10% above or below the nameplate voltage
Heavy loads, however, require that voltage at motor
terminals equals the voltage specified on nameplate
6. Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or
incorrect connections, overloading, reduced input
voltage (such as small size wires in the supply circuit) or
to an overly-long supply circuit. Always check the
connections, the load and the supply circuit, whenever
the motor fails to perform satisfactorily. Check wire
sizes and lengths with the table following.
WIRE SIZES
The use of any extension cord wilt cause some loss of
power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent
over,.heating and motor burn-out, use the table below to
determine the minimum wire size (A.W GJ extension cord
Use only 3 wire extension cords which have 3 prong
grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept
the tools plug,

NOTE: For circuits of greater length, the wire size must be
increased proportionately in order to deliver ample voltage
to the saw motor..
