The 115V attachment plug supplied with the band
saw must be replaced with a UL/CSA listed plug
suitable for 230V operation, as shown in Figure 23.
Contact your local authorized JET service center or
qualified electrician for proper procedures to install
the plug. The band saw must comply with all local
and national codes after the 230-volt plug is
installed.
The band saw with a 230-volt plug should only be
connected to an outlet having the same
configuration (Figure 23). No adapter is available or
should be used with the 230-volt plug.
Figure 23
Important: In all cases (115 or 230 volts), make
certain the receptacle in question is properly
grounded. If you are not sure, have a registered
electrician check the receptacle.
Extension Cords
Use only three wire extension cords that have three-
prong grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles
that accept the tool’s plug.
Make sure the cord is in good condition, and heavy
enough to carry the current your band saw will draw.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage,
resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1
shows the correct size to use depending on cord
length and the ampere rating on your machine’s
nameplate. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord
immediately.
