CHANGING MOTOR VOLTAGE

See Figures 2 - 4.
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 table saw is prewired at the factory for 120 V,
60 Hz. Use the following procedures to change motor voltage
from 120 V to 240 V. This is an optional procedure to be
completed after the saw has been fully assembled.
 Unplug the saw.
 Remove the 6 screws that secure the rear panel of the
saw. Remove the panel.
 Lower the motor to its lowest point.
 Located on the top 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.
 Reinstall the rear panel.
 Plug your table saw into a 220-240 V, 15 amp., 3-prong
receptacle. Make certain the receptacle is connected to
a 240 V, AC power supply through a 240 V branch circuit
having at least a 15 amp capacity and protected by a
15 amp time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.
