Grounding Instructions

Caution: This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, groundi ng pr ovides a path of l east r esi stanc e for electric current to reduce the risk of el ec tric shock. This tool is equipped with an el ec tric cor d having an equipm ent-grounding conduc tor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly instal led and grounded in acc or danc e with all local codes and ordinances.

Do not modi fy the plug provided. I f it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet i nstalled by a qualified el ec trician.

Improper connection of the equi pment-grounding conductor can r esult in a risk of el ec tric shock. The conductor, with insulat ion having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes, is the equipm ent-grounding conduc tor. If repair or r eplacement of the electric cord or pl ug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conduc tor to a live terminal.

Check with a qualified electr ician or service personnel if the groundi ng instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the t ool is properl y gr ounded. Use only three wire extensi on c or ds that hav e three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.

Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

115 Volt Operation

As received fr om the factory, your bandsaw is ready to run at 115 volt oper ation. T his bandsaw, when wired for 115 volts, is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet and a plug t hat looks like the one illustrated in Fig. 2. A temporary adapter, like the adapter in Fig. 3, may be used to connec t this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as shown in Fig. 3, if a properly gr ounded outlet is not availabl e. The tempor ary adapter should onl y be used until a proper ly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified el ec trician. This adapter is not applicable in Canada. The green colored rigi d ear , lug, or tab, ex tending from t he adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box, as shown in Fig. 3.

230 Volt Operation

If 230V, single-phase operation is desired, the following instr uc tions must be foll owed:

1. Disconnect the machin e f rom the po wer source.

2. This band saw is supplied with f our motor leads that are connect ed for 115V operation, as shown in Fig. 4. Rec onnec t these four motor l eads for 230V operation, as shown in Fig. 5.

3. The 115V attachment plug supplied with the band saw must be replaced with a UL/CSA listed plug suitable for 230V oper ation (Fig. 6). Contact your l ocal authorized WMH Tool Group servi ce center or qual ified elect r ician for proper procedures to install the plug. The band saw must comply with all loc al and national codes after the 230 volt plug is instal led.

4. The band saw with a 230 volt plug should only be connected to an out let having the same confi gur ation (Fig. 6). No adapter is available or should be used with the 230 vol t plug.

Important: In al l cases (115 or 230 vol t s) , make certain the receptacle i n questi on is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a registered electrician check the receptacle.
