230 Volt Conversion

If 230V single phase operation is desired, follow

these instructions:

1. Disconnect tablesaw from power source.

2. Open the motor junction box, and consult

the diagrams affixed to the inside of the

junction box cover. These diagrams are also

shown in Figures 2 and 3. This saw is

supplied with four motor leads that are

connected for 115V operation (Figure 2).

Reconnect these four motor leads for 230V

operation (Figure 3).

3. The 115V attachment plug, supplied with

the saw, must be replaced with a UL/CSA

listed plug suitable for 230V operation.

Consult an electrician for proper procedures

to install the plug. The saw must comply

with all local and national codes after the

230V plug is installed.

In all cases (115V or 230V) make certain the

receptacle in question is properly grounded.

If you are not sure, have a registered

electrician check the receptacle.

Extension Cords

If an extension cord is necessary, make sure the

cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on

the machine’s motor plate. An undersize cord

will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss

of power and overheating.

Use the chart in Figure 4 as a general guide in

choosing the correct size cord. If in doubt, use

the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge

number, the heavier the cord.
