Grounding Instructions
1.75 HP Single Phase Motor
This machine must be
grounded while in use to protect the operator
from electric shock.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a
matching outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit
the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. The conductor, with insulation
having an outer surface that is green with or
without yellow stripes, is the equipment-
grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of
the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a
live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service
personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to
whether the tool is properly grounded. Use only
three wire extension cords that have three-prong
grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles that
accept the tool’s plug.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord
immediately.
115 Volt Operation
If your band saw's Stock No. is 710750, it is
wired from the factory for 115 volt operation. The
power cord has a plug that looks like A, Fig. 1.
and is used in an outlet that looks like B, Fig. 1.
A temporary adapter with a grounding ear
secured with a screw (C, Fig. 1) may be used to
connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle if a
properly grounded outlet is not available. The
temporary adapter should only be used until a
properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician. This adapter is not
applicable in Canada. The green colored
grounding ear, lug, or tab, extending from the
adapter, must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box,
as shown in C, Fig. 1.

230 Volt Operation
If 230V, single phase operation is desired, the
following instructions must be followed:
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
source.
2. This band saw is supplied with four motor
leads that are connected for 115V operation
as shown in A, Fig. 2. For 230V operation
reconnect the leads as shown in B, Fig. 2.
3. The 115V attachment plug supplied with the
band saw (C, Fig. 2) must be replaced with
a UL/CSA listed plug suitable for 230V
operation (D, Fig. 2). 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 230V plug
is installed.
4. The band saw with a 230V plug should only
be connected to an outlet having the same
configuration (D, Fig. 2). No adapter is
available or should be used with the 230V
plug.
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.
