EXTENSION CORDS

Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire

extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s

plug. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the machine. An

undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Fig. D-1 or D-2, shows

the correct gauge to use depending on the cord length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge

number, the heavier the cord.

3. 240 VOLT SINGLE PHASE OPERATION

The motor supplied with your saw is a dual voltage,

120/240 volt motor. If it is desired to operate your

machine at 240 volts, single phase, it is necessary to

reconnect the motor leads in the motor junction box by

following the instructions given on the motor

nameplate.

MAKE SURE MOTOR IS

DISCONNECTED FROM POWER SOURCE BEFORE

RECONNECTING MOTOR LEADS.

It is also necessary to replace the 120 volt plug,

supplied with the motor, with a UL/CSA Listed plug

suitable for 240 volts and the rated current of your

machine as illustrated in Fig. C. Contact your local

Authorized Delta Service Center or qualified electrician

for proper procedures to install the plug. The machine

must comply with all local and national electrical codes

after the 240 volt plug is installed.

The machine with a 240 volt plug should only be

connected to an outlet having the same configuration

as the plug illustrated in Fig. C. No adapter is available

or should be used with the 240 Volt plug.

IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THE

RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS PROPERLY

GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE HAVE A

QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CHECK THE

RECEPTACLE.

4. Permanently connected machines:

If the machine is intended to be permanently connected, all

wiring must be done by a qualified electrician and conform

to the National Electric Code and all local codes and

ordinances.

* THREE PHASE OPERATION: Three phase machines

are not supplied with a power cord and must be

permanently connected to a building’s electrical

system. Extension cords can’t be used with a three

phase machine.

* LVC MAGNETIC MOTOR CONTROL: If you

purchased a machine that has a Low Voltage Magnetic

Motor Control System, refer to its instruction manual for

installation guidance.
