CHANGING MOTOR VOLTAGE

See Figures 2 - 5.
WARNING:
Electric shock can kill. To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, never connect plug to power
source until all assembly steps are completed.
NOTE: The jointer/planer is prewired at the factory for 120
volts, 60 Hz. Use the following procedures to change motor
voltage from 120 volts to 240 volts.
 Unplug the jointer/planer.
 Located on the side of the motor is the junction box.
Remove the phillips screw at the back of the junction box
then lift off the cover.
 Remove and discard the electrical tape from the wire
connectors. Remove wire connectors.
 Reconnect the leads.
 Reinstall the wire connectors and wrap each wire with
two layers of new UL listed electrical tape.
 Recheck your wiring with the wiring diagrams.
 Reinstall the junction box cover using the phillips screw.
 Cut off the 120 volt power cord plug and replace it with
a 3-prong 240 volt, 15 amp. UL listed plug.
 Connect the power cord white and black leads,
respectively, to the "hot" plug blade terminals. Connect
the power cord green grounding wire to the plug ground
prong terminal.
 Plug your jointer/planer into a 220-240 volt, 15 amp.,
3-prong receptacle.
 Make certain the receptacle is connected to a 240 volt,
AC power supply through a 240 volt branch circuit having
at least a 15 amp capacity and protected by a 15 amp
time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.
