BASIC ADJUSTMENTS AND CONTROLS
CONNECTING TO A POWER SOURCE
Once the installation of a power cord and plug has
been completed, plug the power cord into an appro-
priate outlet. (Fig. 3) (Refer back to the section entitled
“ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS” on page 4, and make
sure all requirements and grounding instructions are
followed).
Contact a qualified electrician for the installation of a power plug and cord for connecting the band-
saw to a power source.
To avoid risk of shock or fire do not operate the unit with a damaged power cord or plug. Replace dam-
aged cord or plug immediately.
To avoid unexpected or unintentional start-up, make sure that the power switch on the bandsaw is in the
OFF position before connecting to a power source.
