8.3 Saw Blade Direction of Rotation
On single-phase machines the saw blade’s direction
of rotation does not need to be checked.
For three-phase machines start saw briefly with all
guards in place and check direction of rotation. If
incorrect interchange two phases by rotating two pins
in the switch by 180°. Remove plug, use screwdriver
with 6mm/1/4" blade to push lock down and turn pins.
To prevent unauthorized use the switch can be blok-
ked with a padlock.

8.2 Connection to Power Mains
Check if voltage of power mains matches with voltage stated on machine’s name plate. This machine must be
earthed while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.
Models BKS400/3.1 kW must be connected to an earthed outlet with a 3-conductor mains lead.
Models BKS 450/4.2 kW and 4.75 kW have to be connected to an earthed outlet with a 5-conductor mains lead.
A minimum conductor cross section of 1.5mm /16 AWG is required. For the 3.1kW single-phase motor extension
cords should have a conductor cross section of 2.5mm .
Use of an extension cord with too small a conductor cross section causes voltage drop and consequently starting
problems and excessive heat build-up in the motor.
