1. Disconnect machine from power source.

2. Open the switch box and connect the leads

according to the wiring diagram inside the

switch box. This diagram is also shown on

page 26 of this manual.

3. The 115V attachment plug supplied with the

band saw must be replaced with a UL listed

plug suitable for 230 volt operation, similar

to the one shown in Figure 8. Contact your

local authorized WMH Tool Group service

center or qualified electrician for proper

procedures to install the plug. The band saw

must comply with all local and national

codes after the 230 volt plug is installed.

4. Close the switch box

5. The band saw with a 230 volt plug should

only be connected to an outlet having the

same configuration (Figure 8). No adapter is

available or should be used with the 230 volt

plug.

Extension cords

If an extension cord is necessary, make sure the

cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on

the machine’s motor plate. An undersize cord

will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss

of power and overheating.

Use the chart in Figure 9 as a general guide in

choosing the correct size cord. If in doubt, use

the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge

number, the heavier the cord.

Adjustments

Squaring Vise to Blade (90° Stop)

For accurate cutting, the vise jaws should be

square to the blade. Inspect as follows:

1. Loosen the handle (A, Figure 10) and make

sure the bow is swiveled enough that the

stop screw (B, Figure 10) is contacting the

fixed screw (C, Figure 10).

2. Place a machinist’s square on the bed

against the blade and the fixed jaw of the

vise, as shown in Figure 10. The square

should lie along the entire length of the jaw

and blade without a gap.

3. If the vise and blade are not square, loosen

the hex nut on the stop screw (B, Figure 10)

with a 10mm wrench and rotate the stop

screw as needed until the vise and blade

are square whenever the stop screw is

contacting the socket head cap screw (C,

Figure 10).
