WARNING:
Electric shock can kill. To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, never connect plug
to power source until all assembly steps are
completed.
NOTE: The band saw is prewired at the factory for 120 volts,
60 Hz. Use the following procedures to change motor voltage
from 120 volts to 240 volts.
n Unplug the saw.
n Located on the side of the motor is the junction box.
Remove the Phillips screw at the back of the junction
box then lift off the cover.
n Remove and discard the electrical tape from the wire
connectors. Remove wire connectors.

n Recheck your wiring with the wiring diagrams.
n Reinstall the junction box cover using the Phillips
screw.
n Cut off the 120 volt power cord plug and replace it with
a 3-prong 240 volt, 15 amp. UL listed plug.
n Connect the power cord white and black leads,
respectively, to the "hot" plug blade terminals. Connect
the power cord green grounding wire to the plug ground
prong terminal.
n Plug your table saw into a 220-240 volt, 15 amp., 3-prong
receptacle. Make certain the receptacle is connected to
a 240 volt, AC power supply through a 240 volt branch
circuit having at least a 15 amp capacity and protected
by a 15 amp time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.
