The switch provided with your saw is a dual voltage
capable switch, meaning it is designed to function at
either 120 or 240 volts. The switch and saw come
prewired for 120 volt operation. If you decide to convert
the saw to 240V, you will have to replace the 120 volt
plug on the switch with a UL/CSA Listed plug, suitable
for 240 volts. The bandsaw with a 240 volt plug should
only be connected to an outlet having the same config-
uration as the plug. No adapter is available or should be
used with the 230 volt plug. Once the modification has
been made to the plug of the switch, be sure to follow the
instructions under CHANGING MOTOR VOLTAGE for
changing the motor voltage from 120 volt to 240 volt in the
ADJUSTMENTS section of this manual.
