My saw receives daily heavy use and trips breakers frequently. I want to rewire for 220. With this saw it no information only a 220/110 switch. How should the motor be rewired to operate properly?

CHANGING VOLTAGE

See Figures 2-4.

Your radial saw has been set up at the factoryto

operate efficientlyon a 120V AC single voltage circuit.

However, if heavy duty operation is required, the

circuits are overloaded, or the circuit is lowvoltage,

have a qualified electrician change the voltage on the

main power system to a 240V AC voltage circuit.

,_ WARNING: The control cut device is set up for

a 120V AC single voltage circuit.Do not modify

the control cut cord. Identify the controlcut

cord and tie it back out of the way.

• Correctly identifythe control cut cord, unplugit,

and set it aside.

• Unplug the main power cord.

• Remove the blade followingthe procedure in the

Assembly section.

• Remove the pan head screw above the blade

arbor on the motor cover. Liftmotor cover to

expose switch. See Figure 2.

• Use a small screwdriver to slide the dual voltage

switch to the 240V position. See Figures 3 and 4.

• Reinstall motor cover.

• Replace the 120V plugon the main cord with a UL

listed 240V, 15 amp, 3-prong plug.

• Follow the instructionsprovidedwith the UL listed

plug.

• Plug the cord into a 240V, 15 amp, 3-blade receptacle.

Make sure the receptacle is connectedto a

240V AC power supplythrougha 240V branch

circuitthat has a 15 amp fuse or circuitbreaker.
