The 120 Volt AC motor has the following specifications:
Horsepower ........................................... 1/3
Voltage ............................................... 120
Amperes .............................................. 3.5
Hertz .................................................. 60
Phase .............................................. Single
RPM ................................................. 1720
WARNING: All electrical connections must be
performed by a qualified electrician.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING: Make sure unit is off and disconnected
from power source any time wiring is inspected.
POWER SOURCE
Band Saw is prewired for 120 volt, 60 HZ power source.
The motor is designed for operation on the voltage and
frequency specified. Normal loads will be handled safe-
ly on voltages not more than 10% above or below the
specified voltage.
Running the unit on voltages which are not within the
range may cause overheating and motor burn-out.
Heavy loads require that the voltage at motor terminals
be no less than the voltage specified. Power supply to

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Improper connection of equipment
grounding conductor can result in the risk of electrical
shock. Equipment should be grounded while in use to
protect operator from electrical shock.
Check with a qualified electrician if grounding
instructions are not understood or if in doubt as to
whether the tool is properly grounded.
This tool is equipped with an approved 3-conductor
cord rated at 150V and a three prong grounding type
plug or your protection against shock hazards.
Grounding plug should be plugged directly into a
properly installed and grounded 3- prong grounding-
type receptacle, as shown (Figure 12).

Do not remove or alter grounding prong in any
manner. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electrical shock.
