electrical circuits are
grounded. DO NOT use
the machine if it is not
grounded.
In the event of an electrical short, grounding pro-

accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Operating this machine when it is not properly
grounded can result in electric shock or electro-
cution.
Grounding Rewire To 440V
(3-Phase)
The Model G0524 can be rewired for 440V 3-
phase operation. This rewiring job consists of
disconnecting the rip saw from the power source,
changing the connections on the voltage trans
-
former, changing the overload relays for the
motors, and rewiring the motors.
The necessary overload relays for this procedure
can be purchased in the Model G0524 440V
Conversion Kit (P/N P0524067) by calling our
customer service number at (800) 523-4777.
This procedure takes moderate electrical skill and
the rewiring job must be inspected by a licensed
electrician before the saw is connected to the
power source.
To rewire the Model G0524 to 440V 3-Phase:
1. Disconnect the rip saw from the power
source!
2. Open the electrical box.
3. Remove the wire labeled “R” at the 220V ter-
minal of the power transformer and connect
it to the 440V terminal (Figure 2
).
Figure 2. The “R” wire is connected to the 440V
terminal post to operate the rip saw on a 440V
3-phase power source.
