electrical connections

3. Connections for 240V A.C. (Figure 32)

a. The wires inside the motor terminal box must be

connected as fo!lows:

(1) The orange-colored wire on number 8 terminal.

(21 The brown-colored wire on number 7 terminal.

b. Replace the 120V power-cord plug with a (3-blade)

240V plug, connecting the power-cord white and

black leads, respectively, to the two "hot" plug

blades - and connecting the power-cord grounding

wire to the third (neutral) plug blade.

c. Plug your saw into a 240V, 3-blade receptacle.

d. Make certain the receptacle is connected to a 240V

A-C power supply through a 240V branch circuit

having at least a 15-amp. capacity, and protected by

a 15 amp. time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.

Figure 32

As soon as the red button will snap into running

position, the saw may be started and operated normally,

by pulling out the saw switch to the "'ON" position.

Frequent opening of fuses or circuit breakers may result

if motor is overloaded, or if the motor circuit is fused

different!y from recommended. Overloading can occur if

you feed too rapidly or if your saw is misaligned so that

the blade heels. Do not use a fuse of greater capacity

without consulting the power company.

Although the motor is designed for operation on the

voltage and frequency specified on motor nameplate,

normal loads will be handled safely on voltages not more

than 10% above or below the nameplate voltage. Heavy

loads, however, require that voltage at motor terminals

equals the voltage specified on nameplate.

Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or incorrect

connections, overloading, reduced input voltage Isuch as

small size wires in the supply circuit) or to an

overlylong supply circuit. Always check the connec-

tions, the load and the supply circuit, whenever the

motor fails to perform satisfactorily. Check wire sizes

and lengths with the table following.

MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION

NOTE: This motor should be blown out, or

"vacuumed", frequently to prevent sawdust

interference with normal motor ventilation.

Your saw motor is equipped with a manual-reset, thermal-

overload protector designed to open the power-line circuit

when the motor temperature exceeds a safe value (figure

33).

1. If the protector opens the line and stops the saw motor,

immediately press the saw switch to the "OFF" posi-

tion, and allow the motor to cool.

2. After cooling to a safe operating temperature, the

overload protector can be closed manually by pushing in

the red button on the top of the motor. If the red

button will not snap into place immediately, the motor

is still too hot and must be allowed to cool for a while

longer. (An audible click will indicate protector is

closed.)

The following table lists recommended wire sizes for

connecting the motor to the power source. These sizes

should be maintained for trouble-free operation of the saw.

If an extension cord is used, it should be a 120V or 240V,

3-wire type designed for ]rounding the tool.

NOTE: For circuits of greater length, the wire

size must be increased proportionately in order

to deliver ample voltage to the saw motor.
