WARNING!
Before connecting this machine to a
power source (receptacle, outlet, etc),
be sure the supply voltage is the same
as specified on the nameplate of the
machine. A power source with a voltage
greater than specified can result in
serious injury to the user as well as
damage to the machine. If in doubt, DO
NOT, PLUG IN THE MACHINE. A
voltage, lower than the specified
voltage, will cause damage to the motor.
MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS &
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS:
This bandsaw is designed to use
a 1720 RPM motor only. Do not
use any motor that will exceed
this speed. It is wired for
operating on 110-120 volts, 60
Hz, alternating current.
Do not use blower or washing
machine motors or any motor
with automatic reset overload
protection. This will help to avoid
injury from unexpected startup.
This machine needs to be
connected to a properly grounded
110/120volt type outlet, protected
by a 15 amp dual element time
delay fuse or circuit breaker. Not
all outlets are properly grounded
and if not as pictured below, have
it checked by an electrician.
To avoid electric shock, do not
touch the metal prongs on the
plug when installing or removing
the plug.
WARNING!!!
Failure to properly ground this power
tool can cause electrocution or
serious electrical shock, particularly
when used near metal plumbing or
other metal objects. If shocked, your
reaction could cause your hands to
hit the cutting head. If at any time
you discover your power cord is
worn, cut or damaged in any way,
have it replaced immediately to avoid
electrical shock or even a fire
hazard.
NOTE:
The use of an extension cord will
cause some power loss, to keep this
to a minimum and prevent
overheating and or motor burn-out,
use the table below to determine the
minimum wire size (A.W.G.) for the
extension cord. Use only 3-
conductor extension cords with 3-
prong grounding plugs and mating 3-
pole receptacles.
Extension Cord Length Wire Size
(A.W.G.)
0-25 feet 16
26-50 feet 14
51-100 feet 12
