G0524 Rip Saw -7-
Electrocution or a fire
can result if the bandsaw
is not grounded cor-
rectly. Make sure all
electrical circuits are
grounded. DO NOT use
the machine if it is not
grounded.
In the event of an electrical short, grounding pro-
vides electric current a path of least resistance to
reduce the risk of electrical shock to the opera-
tor. Ground the power cord and this machine in
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.
