Grounding Instructions
General Information
This Band Saw must be
grounded while in use to protect the operator
from electric shock.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug that looks similar to the plug in
Figure 15. The plug must be inserted into a
matching outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
Figure 16
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit
the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
Extension Cords
Use only three wire extension cords that have
three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole
receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. The conductor, with insulation
having an outer surface that is green with or
without yellow stripes, is the equipment-
grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of
the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a
live terminal.
Make sure the cord is in good condition and
heavy enough to carry the current your band
saw will draw. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power
and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size
to use depending on cord length and the ampere
rating on your machine’s nameplate. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord
immediately.

115 Volt Operation
As received from the factory, your band saw is
ready to run at 115-volt operation. This band
saw is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet and a plug that looks like the one
illustrated in Figure 4. An adapter with a
grounding ear (Figure 16) may be used
temporarily to connect this plug to a two-pole
not recommended
