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-

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
