This equipment must be grounded. Verify

that any existing electrical outlet and circuit

you intend to plug into is actually grounded.

If it is not, it will be necessary to run a sep-

arate 12 A.W.G. copper grounding wire from

the outlet to a known ground. Under no cir-

cumstances should the grounding pin from

any three-pronged plug be removed or seri-

ous injury may occur.

220V Operation

We do not recommend using an extension cord

for 220V equipment. Instead, arrange the place-

ment of your machinery and installed wiring to

eliminate the need for extension cords. If you

must use an extension cord, make sure it is

rated Hard Service (grade S) or better. The

extension cord must always contain a ground

wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace

extension cords when they become worn or

damaged.

Extension Cords

Grounding

This machine must be grounded! See Figure 2.

The electrical cord supplied with the W1672

does not come with a 220 volt plug. Use a plug

with a ground pin. If your outlet does not

accommodate a ground pin, have it replaced by

a qualified electrician or have an appropriate

adapter installed and grounded properly. An

adapter with a grounding wire does not guaran-

tee machine will be grounded. Ground source

must be verified.

W1672 14" Bandsaw can also be

operated at 220 volts. To do this, consult with

the wiring diagram in the back of this manual.

Also, you will need a NEMA-style 6L-15A plug and

outlet.

The motor supplied with your new bandsaw is

rated at 1 H.P. and will draw approximately 6

amps during 220 volt operation. 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 ratings of all machines on the circuit. If this

number exceeds the rating of the circuit break-

er or fuse, use a different circuit.

NOTICE

Never replace the circuit breaker with one

rated at a higher amperage, or damage to the

circuit may occur.
