provides a path of least resistance for electric current, to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This wood bandsaw is not equipped with a power cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug, one must be installed by a
qualified electrician. Once power cord and appropriate plug is installed, the plug
must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and

be purchased at your local hardware store. The 220V plug and power cord must
be approved CSA, suitable for 220V 20 Amp. operation. This plug is illustrated in
Fig.1. Contact your authorized service centre or qualified electrician to install the
