Wiring Instructions
1. The Bandsaw comes equipped from the manufacturer with a preassembled 120
volt Electric Cord Assembly (38) and is wired for 120 volt operation. How-
ever, the Bandsaw is designed to operate on either 120 volt or 230 volt single
phase circuits.
2. Should you wish to operate the Bandsaw using a 120 volt system, disregard this
section and go on to the next section in the manual.
3. Should you wish to change the electrical operating system from 120 volt to 230
volt, continue reading the instructions in this section.
4. WARNING! Only a certified electrician should attempt to change the
electrical operating system from 120 volts to 230 volts.
5. Note that the four wiring terminals in the Motor (192) are color coded for a 120
volt hookup and a 230 volt hookup. To power the Bandsaw with a 230 volt sys-
tem, follow the illustration below. (See Figure I.)
6. Powering the Bandsaw with a 230 volt electrical system also requires the installa-
tion (by a certified electrician) of a 3-prong, 230 VAC, polarized, twistlock, Power
Cord Plug (not included). (See Figure J.)
IMPORTANT
• Figure I below converts the motor alone to work on 230 VAC power.
• Additional procedures must be followed to prepare this unit for 230 VAC use
including, but not limited to, replacement of the switches and coolant pump.
• Have a certified electrician get this unit ready for 230 VAC use before attempt-
ing to hook it up to power.
