This equipment must be grounded. Verify

that any existing electrical outlet and cir-

cuit you intend to plug into is actually

grounded. If it is not, it will be necessary to

run a separate 12 A.W.G. copper grounding

wire from the outlet to a known ground.

Under no circumstances should the ground-

ing pin from any three-pronged plug be

removed or serious injury may occur.

W1672 Bandsaw is prewired for

110 volt operation. The motor supplied with

your new bandsaw is rated at 1 H.P. and will

draw approximately 12 amps. When choosing an

outlet for this machine, consider using one with

a 15 amp circuit breaker or fuse. Keep in mind

that a circuit being used by other machines or

tools at the same time will add to the total load

being applied to the circuit. Add up the load rat-

ings of all machines on the circuit. If this num-

ber exceeds the rating of the circuit breaker or

fuse, use a different circuit.
