ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of an electrical malfunction or short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock. The motor
of this machine is wired for 110V single phase operation
and is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and a 3prong grounding plug to fit a grounded type receptacle . Do not remove the 3rd prong (grounding pin)
to make it fit into an old 2-hole wall socket or extension
cord. If an adaptor plug is used , it must be attached
to the metal screw of the receptacle.
Note: The use of an adaptor plug is illegal in some
areas. Check your local codes. If you have any doubts
or if the supplied plug does not correspond to your electrical outlet, consult a qualified eletrician before proceeding.
CIRCUIT CAPACITY
Make sure that the wires in your circuit are capable of
handling the amperage draw from your machine, as
well as any other machines that could be operating on
the same circuit. If you are unsure, consult a qualified
electrician. If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows
regularly, your machine may be operating on a circuit
that is close to its amperage draw capacity.However, if
an unusual amperage draw does not exist and a
power failure still occurs,contact a qualified technician
or our service depar tment.
BEFORE CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SOURCE,VERIFY THAT THE VOLTAGE OF YOUR POWER SUPPLY CORRESPONDS
WITH THE VOLTAGE SPECIFIED ON THE MOTOR I.D. NAMEPLATE. A POWER SOURCE WITH GREATER VOLTAGE THAN NEEDED CAN
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE USER AS WELL AS DAMAGE T O THE MACHINE. IF IN DOUBT,CONTACT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
BEFORE CONNECTING TO THE POWER SOURCE.
THIS TOOL IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR USE IN WET OR DAMP LOCATIONS.
EXTENSION CORDS
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with your
machine, use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3prong grounding plug and a matching 3-pole receptacle that accepts the tool’s plug. Repair or replace a
damaged extension cord or plug immediately.
Make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage
listed on the motor I.D. plate. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating. The accompanying chart shows the
correct size extension cord to be used based on cord
length and motor I.D. plate amp rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the number, the
heavier the gauge.

PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP / ESTABLISHING A SAFETY ZONE
EST
ABLISHING A SAFETY ZONE
For shops with frequent visitors or multiple operators, it is
advisable to establish a Safety Zone around shop machinery.A clearly defined “no-go” zone on the floor around
each machine can help avoid accidents that could cause injury to either the operator or the shop visitor.It is advisable to take a few moments to either paint (using nonslip paint) or using tape, define on the floor the limits or
perimeter of each machines safety zone. Take steps to
ensure that all operators and shop visitors are aware that
these areas are off limits whenever a machine is running
for everyone but the individual operating the unit.
PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP
This machine should be installed and operated only on
a solid, flat and stable floor that is able to support the
weight of the bandsaw 398 lbs (181 kg) and the operator. Plan for placement within your shop that will allow
the operator to work unencumbered and unobstructed
by foot traffic (either passing shop visitors or other shop
workers) or other tools or machinery.
The protective coating on the saw table prevents rust
from forming during shipping and storage. Remove it
by rubbing with a rag dipped in kerosene,mineral spirits or paint thinner. (Dispose of potentially flammable
solvent-soaked rags according to manufacturer’s safety recommendations.)
A putty knife, held flat to avoid scratching the surface,
may also be used to scrape off the coating followed
by clean-up with solvent.A void rubbing the saw’s painted surfaces,as many solvent-based products will remove paint.
To prev ent rust,apply a light coating of paste wax or use
regular applications of any after-market surface protectant or rust inhibitor.
CLEAN UP
Tip: With a screw driver, push a solvent-saturated rag into the T-slot to remove the grease.
