,_, WARNING: If you are unfamiliar with the basic
fundamentals of electricity do not attempt this
procedure. Use a qualified electrician to change
the voltage of the saw to avoid electric shock or
possibly a fire.
Your saw is set at the factory for 120V usage See
Figure 39. Use extreme caution in changing to 240V,
as with any electrical procedure. Check the receptacle.
It must be a 220-240V, 15 amp, 3-blade unit -- con-
nected to a 240V AC power supply -- through a 240V
branch circuit -- with at least a 15 amp capacity -- and
protected by a 15 amp time-delay fuse or circuit
breaker. All attachment plugs and any receptacles
designed for 120 volt usage must be replaced with
devices rated for 240 volts.
