The Model W1715 is wired for 110V operation. The power

supply circuit used for this machine MUST be grounded

and rated for the amperage given below. Never replace

a circuit breaker with one of higher amperage without

consulting a qualified electrician to ensure compliance

with wiring codes.

This machine must be grounded! The electrical cord

supplied with this machine comes with a grounding pin. If

your outlet does not accommodate a ground pin, have it

replaced by a qualified electrician.

We do not recommend using an extension cord; however,

if you have no alternative, use the following guidelines:

• Use a cord rated for Standard Service (S).

• Do not use an extension cord longer than 50 feet.

• Ensure that the cord has a ground wire and pin.

• Use the gauge size listed below as a minimum.

The table and other unpainted parts of your

bandsaw are coated with a waxy grease that

protects them from corrosion during shipment.

Clean this grease off with a solvent cleaner or

citrus-based degreaser. DO NOT use chlorine-

based solvents such as brake parts cleaner or

acetone—if you happen to splash some onto a

painted surface, you will ruin the finish.

Once the assembly is complete, test run the machine to

make sure it runs properly for regular operations.

The test run consists of verifying the following: 1) The

motor powers up and runs correctly, and 2) the safety

disabling mechanism on the switch works correctly.

If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate the source

of an unusual noise or vibration, stop using the machine

immediately, then review KiflYc\j_ffk`e^ on GX^\*..

If you still cannot remedy a problem, contact our Tech
